:usaflag:Scouting again, Hunted two beaches today!!:detecting:

[Cupajo]

1st beach sanded in, but still managed some can slaw and two bullets.

Second beach produced all the coins shown including a 1942 Walking Liberty half, a silver Rosie and a 1929 Buffalo.

The nicely made serpent seems too heavy for brass, but is un-marked. I put 10K acid on it and a brass house key with no reaction. 14K acid produces a greenish color and sizzles the surface maybe desolving the metal!?

Brass I guess!?

Stll a couple of good hunts of 31/2 hours total with 60 targets recovered including a junk bracelet and a silver blob that is just to the right of the 2OZ sinker that was a chain before salt water worked its magic!

GL&HH friends,

Another thing I had never heard of in my 71 years!! (I love this hobby!!)

Only a few years ago we couldn't have shared any of this!

I live in constant amazement of the times we live in!!

Thanks Steve for the info,
