Default Hit For The Cycle On Surface Finds!
Decided to do some dry sand hunting this morning since my last 2 hunts were water hunts and the low tide really wasn't jiving. It was a little bit windy and the wind was coming off the ocean. I have noticed that many times at this beach the wind will whisk away sand and leave coins exposed. I found 6 coins like that today; 2 quarters, 2 nickels, a dime and a penny! You gotta love the easy pickings! Hunted for about 3 hours with a decent amount of clad and a broken off piece of what appears to be a silver item. I found a dime that I thought was a foreign coin when I first got it since it was smaller and lighter. At home is when I noticed it was just a regular dime. In my years of hunting I have never seen that happen to a dime. My summer off time is running out guys!

looks like a pretty good hunt Felix. What part of the beach were you at? N. Miami beach? Haulover?

Glad to see you are enjoying your vacation. Looks like those coins have been there awhile. Never have seen a new dime eaten up like that one. Hope you can get some gold before having to come back home. Good luck.

I found a dime like that once, the top and bottom was intact, but the inside
had deteriorated and it made it lighter. I found a Canadian coin like that too
and it was so deteriorated inside, that I could bend the coin over itself.

what junk!

Nice haul, gotta love it when the wind helps you instead of just being annoying...
