Very Warm Morning for Coin Shooting...

Went back to the park at the beach for some Coin Shooting, did okay.found some coins at the Tot Lot, before finishing at the play area I found what I thought was shell bracelet sticking out of the woodchips under the kiddy slid. Turned out to be a box covered in little shells with a yellow ribbon tied around it. When I got back to the car I opened up the mystery box, inside I found a rosary and some kind of plactic bag which that I thru out. The only thing from that I kept was the rosary. The box was wet and in poor shape so I tossed that too. Did find a lot of coins, also what looked like some type of clip, after I got home I took it apart and found that it had 2 dimes and 3 pennies.

A Very Windy Day of Detecting at the Beach/Park...

This morning finally not raining so I got out for some coin shooting. Went back to the Park at the beach, with not any people there the finds are starting to get thin but still able to find coins. I started out in the Tot Lot only a couple of pennies and someones drivers license under one of the play equipment on top of the woodchips. I also found a charm from a cell phone with XOXO as the design, the colors of the letters are pink and purple. there was a metal gold color leaf, possibly part of an earring. A small toy police officer and a piece of copper pipe. The license that I found was a under 21 kind, after I got home I called one of the neighbors about my find and who to call to return it to the owner. He suggested I call 311 and they had a police officer come and get it, the officer said I could of dropped it into the mailbox and it would of been delivered to the person (Hmm, good to know for the future if another one is found). After I got home and cleaned the coins I saw that I found a Wheatie a 1956D.
