That lead seal is spectacular.

Any tidal rivers like that in the USA?

Cheers,

Joe

I can think of 2 or 3 spots near me where we do that . They are mud-flat cove-style beaches, with heavy current-or-yesteryear traffic. And since they are not facing the open ocean, they are therefore not suspect to the normal sand-erosion-movement (in-&-out) of regular beaches.

The trouble is, that in the USA, we simply have too little history to make this worthwhile. Versus Europe (England, etc... ) where a bridge could have crossed the same spot of land/river/estuary for 2000+ yrs. !

So at the spots we dig beach pits and detect the tailings here, we're doing good to get clad, wheat pennies, an occasional silver, etc.... But go figure: We're hunting spots with 100 to 150 yrs. history @ tops. Of which only the last 70 or 100-ish of it might have been riddled with tourism history.
