Hey Everyone,
  Got out to the beach today. I've been going to this one beach that I really like for the last month. It's an out of the way place, I've only ever seen one other guy there. It always produces a lot of clad, especially the heavier coins which, from what I've read, is where the gold will be.
  No gold today but I got this nice 5.7 gram silver ring and $5.75 in clad

Thanks! I hit that towards the end of the hunt, I was a little tired and I had just thought about only digging the gold tones. Glad I decided to dig 'em all
