So today I took the Nox to the beach for the third time. I was in the "kiddy pool" area at low tide hunting in knee-deep water when I got a good deep signal. After a lot of scooping, I pulled out a Van Buren $1 coin. When I looked at it, I had no idea what I was looking at. I had never seen one before. I had to google it to see if it was real.
I also found the plane, but that was an eyeball find. I only took it because I didn't want some poor soul to step on it and get hurt.
The leaf ear-ring was a letdown. I think at one time it was gold plated, but as I rubbed it, all the gold came off. The loop ear-ring is obviously junk.
I think my best find of the day was the Sand Dollar. For all the times I have gone to the beach hunting shells and shark teeth, I have never come across a non-broken sand dollar. This one was laying by itself on the sand begging for me to take it home. So I did.
Sad to say, but I had no luck finding any silver or gold. As a matter of fact, I had a hard time finding anything at all. Come to find out, they just finished dredging and replenishing the beach with 6 to 12 inches of new sand.
Still, it was a fun hunt on a beautiful day at the beach.
