i'm on vaca this week and went out for a beach hunt before our forecast for rain comes true.
in the first half hour, i basically found nothing, not even a pulltab.
then, i hit the right "zone" along the dry sand. i say zone, because i literally couldn't take 2 steps and it was coin signal after coin signal! 
in general, almost ALL of what i found were coins from the early to mid 70's. numerous ones were blobs of sand encrusted coins after being buried for such a long time. penny's, dimes, nickles, quarters..... one after another! i also scored a few of our more modern $1 and $2 dollar coins. i didn't tally the total yet, but easily between 10 and 12 bucks in 3 hours.
while hitting one penny signal, there was another lower tone a foot away, low to mid 40's. let's just say i dug that signal first, lol. i wanted GOLD today and that tone sure sounded right to me!
sure enough, about 5 inches down, there was something the right color. that nice sweet buttery color that gets the heart thumping a little harder.
low and behold, a little 10K pendant! Whoo hoo!!! and yes, i did dig that penny too, haha!
all in all, a great day, oodles of coins (sorry, no pic of those yet) and some 10K in my pocket.
i may have to head back that way again this week. my poor legs were turning into rubber and i know i passed by numerous more coins. and who knows, maybe there's going to be s'more yellow stuff hiding there, trying to avoid the wrath of the great At Pro!
thanks for looking,
Pete
ps. i'm guessing the "86" on the pendant was a birth date.
Update: the days clad take: a total of 76 coins for a grand total of $13.04! my best clad day so far!

Congrats on the yellow! I would've been very disappointed had you left that penny!
