Another rainy day in Seattle, but I hit a local freshwater beach anyway. I had vowed before I got there that I would dig everything, and at first it was pull-tab city, so I was very discouraged. But then I got near the lifeguard chair and dug up the sterling ring with the "amethyst" (I think it's a fake stone). This was my first ring since I took up MD'ing a couple months ago, so I was ecstatic! Then I found that weird square-ish sterling ... thing. It had a designer's hallmark, so when I got home I looked it up: Turns out it's a Manhattan jewelry designer named Barry Kieselstein-Cord, and this is part of a belt from his 1981 "Caviar" collection (see link: https://tinyurl.com/yasn4ugc). Then it was back to bottle caps and pieces of foil, until I dug the tiny shovel out of about 8" of wet sand.
If you look at the clad, I found a few regular pennies, but six that were in relative stages of mass decay. Not sure if they saw the business end of a lawnmower or what? Loving my new Garrett AT Pro Pointer! That saved me a ton of hunting time for those tiny bits of metal I came across today.
Such a fun day! Can hardly wait to go out again. Next goal: GOLD ring!!!
