It was only 4- 5 down. I have a theory on how it got there. About 18 months ago they did a remodel to one of the attractions at our 100+ Boardwalk Amusement area. They dug under the boardwalk and down about 18'! There was a huge mountain of sand there on the main beach for good long time!! :drool: Several of us would hit it daily when the dozer wasn't working and pushing sand around. Numerous oldies came out of there, I got a Barber Half and some Barber dimes myself, plus IH's and another V. Saw at least one Peace Dollar come out, heard some Seateds were found, but no elusive gold coins! :daydream: Anyhow, we had some high tides and large swells so some sand(and coins?!?) got pulled out. I think this winters swell and storms just stirred things up and re-deposited this particular coin. :thinkingabout: This is one reason I keep going back to this beach over and over, plus in the Spring & Summer it is ":beerbuddy:ank Vault for clad and jewelry!! 8) Thanks for the looks guys!
I gave it a 24 hour bath in vinegar and you can see the results.
