Hit an old beach this morning and thought I only found clad among all the lead. Further inspection and cleaning at home revealed some decent finds. 1913 buff, 1944 S nickel and a silver 1966 Balboa from Panama. All are pretty worn out but still were a nice surprise.

You have some old finds there. I don't see them where I live. Used to at Jacksonville Fl at lucky times of sand erosion. From what I see your erosion is good. I would go back immediately and fine tooth that place!!

Nice captures. I like the old coins. But they are hard to come by here.

Nice scores, I wonder if someone used that battery terminal as a fishing weight?
