I feel your pain MM. I was too tired to hunt low tide this morning and low tide this afternoon there was about 6,000 people on the beach arrgh! So I drove up to the fairgrounds and took a 1 hour walk across the grass, holy cow there's some rusty nails there, like 5 per swing. The Sunray 12 was not the coil to use but I managed brass wing nut and one wheat.

Double check the lock , looks a little like a railroad lock.

Those Locks can be worth a few bucks to a collector so I wouldn't call it a total loss for finds today. And at least you saved another Wheatie from Ground Corrosion. Good Luck and HH.

I'd sure like to find an old lock like that. Nice find. I've been asked to leave places that were producing before. Best time to rehit that place would be very early on a Sunday moring
