A couple of weeks back my wife and I went to the cape for a few days. I brought my MXT along to check out the beaches.
They were pretty clean except for the usual pull tabs, bottle caps and coins. I got lucky and found over $1.50 in one hole on the beach.
I did make a couple of other nice finds.
One was a pair of glasses which I guess are a fairly common find. The second was a silver ring. Not too unusual. Most silver found is .925. For me this is a first. This ring is a .950. 95% pure silver. I was stoked. There is a small hole drilled through the ring by the hallmark that held the chain. It had to be a very thin chain that broke and I didn't find it in the area.
All were found in dry sand.
