From The Atlantic Ocean

I walk the beach a lot with my metal detector. Best time is when they bring in the sand to build up the beach, never know what you might find. I found this penny and shark tooth bound together. I am guessing it is copper, if it was zinc, would have fallen apart. Am not able to see the date, just the memorial on the back. Thinking this is a one of a kind, wanted to share.

Hi and welcome to CT. That is an interesting find, for sure

 

Hello and Welcome !

 

Not worth much but it sure is neat to have it. Never seen anything quite like that.

 

I wonder what the shark felt as it bit down on that coin? LOL

 

Would like to clean it up, afraid it would fall apart.

 

I'm worried about whose pocket it was in at the time!

 

Wow, never seen anything like it before thanks for sharing.

 

Cool find, a two for one get.

 

The shark was just testing it to see if it is real, you know, like the one in your avatar!

Welcome to CT!

 

Would you like to see a better pic of the Avatar Pic....

 

Certainly! We live for pics on CT!

 

@Mercy St John that find is unique! I wouldn't try cleaning it up (i.e. soaking) as doing so would destroy the synergy of that conglomeration. You might consider having it mounted in a holder, or encapsulated in Lucite, and made into a pendant.

 

Should I put the pics of the avatar here or start another thread, or post.

 

Here.
