    Wow. That's a good haul considering it's just a quick hunt each time. I take it you are near a beach? lol It takes me 2 hours just to get to a beach, a real one that is It sounds like, a great way to take a walk everyday , get rid of some stress, have a great view and find some nice things. A win, win situation thumbsup01

    That's a great idea!! Takes away some of the stress of work lol I wonder how much you find this year by doing that? Whatever you find, it is all extra stuff you would have never found if you just went to work. Just that one change in your schedule can bring lots of good finds for you. Smart move

    That's a good amount of old coins at your beach. I like that beach lol I just never knew that beaches could produce old coins. But if I had thought about it, it makes a lot of sense. People back then flock to beaches just like we do today. Nice coins, especially the Barber Half thumbsup01

    Re: Hitting beaches

    Can't wait to see some pictures I bet they are really tarnished though. Do you clean them with the aluminum foil trick? Angel's silver comes out pretty nice after using that method. Nice, nice finds!

    Here's how he does it.
