Hit Ogunquit Beach Sun. afternoon about two hours before low tide. Temps in the low 20's and a stiff breeze. It was cold out there today! Worked a depression/trough seen in the photos, found a few items there but not much.
Saw another hunter working the beach swinging his coil at a 45deg angle, apparently on purpose, still scratching my head on that one.
Then the shocker, last week found a 1946 wheatie up above the high tide mark in shallow dry sand. Today out in the clam flats found another 1946 wheatie and shallow once again, 3-4". This location was about 2000 feet from the previous wheatie. I think I should play the lottery this week.
About $3.00 in clad/zincs. The silver colored ring is junk. The medal was interesting, didn't know they had one for surfers. Trash to goody ratio was excellent, you're going to dig foil and tabs on a beach or risk losing gold rings. So the two pieces of wire are the only ones that are true trash. Not bad for a CZ, which are supposed to be deep iron lovers.
By the way, the yellow coated wire is part of a destroyed lobster trap. There are complete and partial traps submerged all over this beach. To say nothing of pieces like you see in the photo, all have been brought in by the storms. This is how the beach gods test CZ owners. Maybe they should make one of those medals for CZ owners, with something like "protect us from deep iron" on it.
So Eric F, if you read this forum, and need a beta tester for that new Iron ID PI unit, send her along, I will put her thru a two year evaluation period, and not charge my usual consulting fee, big of me eh?
