    First Post here....Only 5 coins today.....

    But 2 of them were silver After finally recovering from a knee surgery and not being able to hunt for close to 2 months I made it out to one of my favorite beach spots. Have found lots of silver there and seems to be never ending. Today I found a 1936 Merc and a 1954 D Rosie. The Beach really beats on the silver so they are in rough shape. .21 in clad. Was only there for a hour...didn't want to push it with the knee.

    Thanks for looking and HH Woody420~~~

    Silver coins do tend to take a beating at saltwater beaches, but they are still very much fun to find. thumbsup01

    Great job Don! The beach is a good place to test out the knee.
    Having fun is what it is all about!

    Hey.... welcome to the forum!

    Congrats on the silver. That environment is certainly hard on silver.

    Glad to see you are swinging again.
