Under a large oak tree came a 1919 wheat penny, ‘49 quarter and a ‘62 dime. Nearby was the flattened bowl of a large sterling spoon. The trial prize was a brass ring with a copper coin/ token mounted. On the top is a replica of a Mayan calendar and you can see through the ring and see a face. It has been identified as Father Hildago, the Father of Mexico. This clergyman was the leader of the Mexican Revolution. </p><p><br /></p><p>yesterday I hit the beach late in the afternoon.
