Hi all, Yesterday I did a Metal Detecting hunt at Rockaway Beach in Far Rockaway Beach! I have to nickname this beach Dime Beach because of so many I found. In one 5 foot radious sand spot I found about 22 Dimes and 8 Quarters! It was insane! Totals of US Coins and Miscellaneous 25C - 34 each 10C - 58 each 5C - 10 each 1C - 45 each 1 - Colombia 100 Pesos 1 - Stainless Steel Ring
Some other pictures.. If you look in the middle of the picture you can kind of see me teaching one of my nephews how to Metal Detect.. John found about $1.47 in an hour. Snack time!
A few more hauls like that Paddy,you and your Nephew will have that detector paid for. Sounds like a fun day.
How deep does your detector register? I went on a nugget search in Australia and they were using a contraption that registered 6-8ft. They also portaged a small 2 wheel mini backhoe. 3 days netted 65 oz. with the largest weighing over 1 1/2 lbs.Ah when gold was 2500
As soon as I pull out any coins out of my scoop I check for key dates, metal content, varieties and the mint marks. Takes me about 10 seconds for each coin. Nothing special in my last batch.
