Went to my usual beach today, started in the drainage channel from last week. I hadn't been in the water long and got another pocket spill (or is it that the coins only wash down so far and accumulate?) in nearly the same place as last week, see pic's in this thread - http://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?t=69996 . Then I discovered they have new chairs out that have never been out before! Gotta love those chairs. Kind of a low total for today but I hit the new chairs hard and maybe they are too new for the clad to build up around them yet.

I managed to collect:

10 Quarters
8 Dimes
2 Nickels
20 Pennies
2 little plastic shovels - 1 Yellow 1 Orange


The 2 nickels, nasty brown quarter, a couple of the pennies, and the dark corroded dime were my pocket spill in the water. They were 2 inches down in the sand under about 8 inches of water. I had my coil submerged about an inch off the sand moving slow in Custom Mode sens @ 6 bars and everything from nickel left to foil notched out.

Man, I would somehow note where that spot is and hit it again in a week or two. Perhaps you have found a site where spilled coins go to die! :?::lol::shock:

Seriously, I would go back and hit it periodically, could be a spot where eddy swirls wash heavy objects like coins into a small area, concentrating them!

Google Earth is a great research tool... and it helps me remember sites that I've hunted...

You may just have a catch all area! Hit it up regularly.

Looks a lot like my last hunt!
