Kim and I hit took the 2 1/2 hour drive to the Pacific yesterday and came home with a pocket full of silver, the area we covered was only a 15 foot wide by 20 foot long section, we have only covered 1 tenth of the beach, there is quite a climb down the cliffs but once we got there we had the beach to ourselves, we think that this place is loaded due to the long shore currents in which we found the their final resting place, I found 2 buffs the day before so I have in yesterdays finds, the ocean was pretty rough on the coins but its kind of like fishing, it sure is nice to reel them in. The take was 4 Buffaloes, 3 Merc's, 8 wheats, 2 war nickels and 1 Rosie, Kim even had a better day than me, he will be posting his finds soon, I also found some type of buckle and a Japanese coin that I already posted on (What is it) We are hitting it again probably next week and plan on spending maybe a week out there. I don't have the GPS coordinates to the site but I can tell you it's South of Eureka and North of Santa Barbara. ;)

Awesome score on all them silvers Steve thumbsup01 I think you're gonna see silver eventually go sky high cause it's drying up and getting hard to get these days.

Anytime you can walk a way with a pocket full like that is fantastic.

They are a little beat up... but they look great to me. :yes:

Congrats Steve.

Howdy Amigo!
Terrific finds. What did you do to clean those coins up?
Just asking because I haven't much salt water to cope with around here!

Blessings,
