Above is a great Treasure Coast beach find by Russ. P.  It doesn't get any better than that.  The design and date on the date is very sharp.

Here is a larger view.

And below is a write-up of the artifact sent by Russ P.

Now that is a really cool find.  The next thing to figure out is how it got there, what ship it came from, etc.  

Congratulations to Russ.  And thanks for sharing.

Yesterday I mentioned where I metal detecting coins.  Mark D.. seconded that.  Here is what he said.

First of all I love reading your beach reports.

 

I was trying to get out earlier this week to hunt the cuts but I still work so I have been taking Fridays off to hunt.

 

I was at Treasure Shores Beach park last Friday when you were at Wabasso beach a little South and what a difference a day makes.

 

The cuts were filled in so I hunted the low tide and your Saturday report is right on, the low tide shell line was where I was finding stuff but it was everything from old, corroded tent stakes to new pennies.

 

I did find a 2000 dated dime which had been there awhile and a 925 Sterling Silver ring that was very badly corroded so it had been there awhile in the same line that I found 3 new design shiny pennies?

Thanks for sharing, Mark.
