Default Beach Hunt Yields Pocketknife

While hunting a beach Sunday, on the north shore of Long Island, I uncovered a pocketknife buried in the sand. After a day of cleaning I was able to open it and I shot this picture of it. The metal plating was badly corroded but it is still in pretty good shape. Opens and closes quite easily. It was down about 8 inches and it sounded like a soda can. To my surprise it was a knife. Outside of this, the day was a bust. Picked up only $1.19 in coin.

Someone was probably cutting their bunker with that knife

Hey Gobble-Gobble. I hit the beaches at Wading River and Rocky Pt., then I finished up at Sunken Meadow. The wind was brutal last Sunday. I didn't stay at any beach too long. I actually found the knife at Wading River.
