Beach Hunt

Sunday was a sports car kinda day here, partly sunny and rolling clouds. There was time for a short hunt at the saltwater beach at the Edmonds waterfront where I found two red hot wheels cars, one buried in the sand and one just out for a drive near the water. No kids around so I couldn't find the owner.













Above: Edmonds beach sand with lots of driftwood and pulltabs, not many coins there. I think people hit this beach regularly.














Looking for goodies under the sand. I needed to be using the 9.5 stock coil ideally for beach hunting but I had left it at home.

You sunk my battleship

The park seemed to fill up over the summer with more coins and interesting items, making my hunt a lot of fun. I found someones toy battleship under a tree and a spoon in the tot lot sand. The most exciting find was a silver or silver like ring right by the basketball court, it gave a loud strong signal as a quarter and VDIed at 84-85.

















There was plenty of clad near the swings and slides too!
All in all a good day.

Park Pin

Quick hunt under the old trees that I did a week ago, just didn't get around to posting the finds, pretty meager this time around. The pin was for a baseball club in Bothell, found back of the pin first and then the front in two different spots.

Beach Hunting

In July I took the MXT on vacation with me to visit the family in Ohio. I really didn't get many chances to do a lot of detecting as I had a full schedule of family activities to attend.
I did have a chance to hit the beach by Fairport Harbor one day for about an hour.
















Some clad coins and a 1944 war nickel was the find of the day. I don't know how the pink pig got there. The beach was very clean there, I was surprised I didn't find more pull tabs and foil. It was a beautiful sunny day and I was happy to be able to hunt in Ohio.
