Got this in the dry sand, a .925 silver spinner. 8)

The coin itself is not that rare, just that it came from this particular beach. It is detected regularly and by many different detectorists. It was a dry sand find with the MXT and I thought it was going to be yet another bottle cap! :rolleyes: I gave it a 24 hour bath in vinegar and you can see...

Got my first GOLD of the year this evening. :happydance01: The nice weather brought a few tourist down to the beach. Managed a few bucks in clad and this Dolphin pendant marked 10K and with a light blue stone. It was a chattery broken signal on the MXT and came up with some pennies and dimes, so...

Ring out the Old Year!! 8) Hit a medium low tide this morning, about 8 of us out there! :boxing: A bit of sand has finally moved out, so grabbed the PI and gave it a swing! :yes: This nice .925 came up along with the usual trash (not shown :poke:)

http://whiteselectronics.com/mxt-pro.html Looks like it is out now! Anyone know anything about it? Is it just a sooped up MXT with a few more bells & whistles??

Though I have been checking in here and enjoying reading about and seeing some awesome coin and relic digs by you all, I haven't been hitting much other than clad on the beach. Decided to try some turf and tot lots today. thumbsup01 Got a 4 - 6 VDI on the MXT, but it just sounded more solid than...

...and his name is Daniel! :rolleyes: Managed a little .925 ring and a few bucks in clad. Thanks for looking! 8)

When I saw this large coin in my scoop my heart skipped a few beats and I was thinking &quot:beerbuddy:ig Silver! :drool: Alas, it is a '71 Eisenhower Dollar, but still a fun find. :yes: It was in the sand awhile, but not too long because it is discolored but not crusted like the older coins can...

Found a little Peace on the beach today! :grin: Thought I had silver at first, but they are just junkers. :bangahead01: It was good to see people back on the beach for Easter Break out here! 8)

...it was in the low 70's out here today, did some dry sanding in shorts & flip flops! 8) :tongue: No great finds, but sure was a beautiful day! :poke:

…that’s what makes this hobby so much fun!! 8) Hit the beach for the afternoon low tide with the PI looking for gold or silver, but they eluded me this time. :( I did get these two coins I found interesting. We get lots of tourists in Santa Cruz, so I guess a couple of them dropped these...

No Gold, but got 3 Silver today! 8) Two .925 Silver Rings and .925 Saint Christopher Medal. This is the same spot I got my first ring of the year, also a .925 Silver with a Aquamarine stone. This little park is only about a ½ acre of turf area. No old coins due to when it was developed I think...

Got back to that site where they pulled sand from under our 100+ year old boardwalk. They had moved it around some so I tried it agian today. Came up with a 1915-S Wheat and a 1904 V Nickel, rough shape.

Found my first ring for the year today, a .925 with a aqua marine stone. This was a turf find.

Decided to retire my lucky detecting hat I have used for the last three years and try a new one in 2010. Old on left, new on right. Anybody else have a lucky hat or item they like to take with them? Happy New Year to all and safe and plentiful detecting in 2010!! :yes: :cheesysmile: 8)

Not real pretty, but it's all mine!! 8) Found this 1899 Barber Half in that sand pile that I posted about awhile back that came out from under our 100 year old plus boardwalk amusement park. They finally started pushing some of the sand around today, so I hit it for a bit and plan to go back in...

Haven’t been able to get out and swing the ‘ol coil in awhile due to family obligations and travel to visit relatives over Thanksgiving. After we got home it was time to start decorating the house for Christmas. Helped the wife with the inside stuff and then started on my outside lights and...

I think today may have been one of my best detecting days ever and it wasn’t about the finds! I was at an elementary school picking up a few pieces of clad when my cell rings and it is my wife. The “friend of a friend” needed help. Seems her little girl lost a ring while playing soccer at...

Found these under our 100+ year old Boardwalk here in Santa Cruz

This is my first find since joining this forum and I wanted to share it, Hit Main Beach here for a couple of hours this afternoon. Got a bit of clad this little .925 ring! It is kinda bent, but I'll take it! (and John, no comments about me being a little bent either! :cheesysmile:)
