This is from one four hour tour chest to neck deep Aug 13. Sorry about the lack of focus in the "group shot". Honestly, I know I left one or more lead figures in the hole. I was really out trying to get to a spot I hadn't detected in the hope of finding gold. Yes, I know we are supposed to bring 'em all back but after 30 minutes working what sounded like one signal and all in the same hole I had to move on. I know exactly the spot off the jettie where the rest of the squad should be. Not shown are all the lead sinkers, my usual finds around jetties. The two howitzers came up first and I was jazzed by knowing I was over old stuff. There is a tiny bit of paint on one of 'em. So much ocean, so little time before the tide comes in. The St. Michael medal is just 12K G.F. Looked nice though. The soldiers are solid cast and are 1 1/2 & 1 3/4 inches tall. The other religious medal is .925
