I found this metal detecting about 4' down due to sand erosion. ANy ideas or leads, certainly let me know. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

cgambino1 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 10/22/2011 6:02 pm Thanks guys for your opinions & insight! Wish I had more of it to really tell or wish it was in better condition. I'm going back on Monday to see if I can find anything else. This one's going in my box of finds! Thanks so much. -Chris Report this Post to the Staff

I was on Topsail today fishing, took the detector along just in case. Wish now that I had broke it out and done me some sand fishing, would have had better luck for sure.
