The beach was filled with silver coins after a major storm

Metal Detecting 207: Pemaquid Beach, Maine on 2/8/24
After a few large storms, the beach sand was washed away and there had many coins and relics to find.
WE ARE BACK!

Oh man what a day! Reminds me of the winter we had in Southern Maine! We have 9 or 10 videos all from the same beach digging silvers every day from January through March! Welcome back guys, happy to see the new content today! Congrats on all that silver!

@masonmercmetaldetecting I enjoy an old field location over a beach....but I dig a ton of junk and pull tabs sound too good to resist.

Wow, whats the hypothesis on all the merc dimes, that seems really strange

[@metaldetecting2077]

I know. Why so many Merc dimes. I don't know why we saw so many

[@holyjake79]

So where did all these coins and rings come from? Did people in the early 1900's have a lot of holes in their pockets? And were there a lot of people there at that time? Are there still a lot of people there? So many questions

[@metaldetecting2077]

The beach area itself has been used since the late 1800's and there used to be a hotel and outside roller rink near by the beach. Old photos show the area that we are digging used to be woods but the wind and waters moved around coins

[@holyjake79]

Thanks for the reply. That is amazing history and such an incredible moment to find so many items

[@phillipbingham487]

unthawed is a Maine thing... how do you do it ??? i have heard people here in Maine saying this word...unthawed.... do you reverse thaw to a frozen state..unthawed is frozen....

[@metaldetecting2077]

@phillipbingham487 I know what you are saying. When I was editing and reviewing the video, I heard myself saying that said "only in Maine" I am glad you watched the video and hopefully brought you a chuckle.

[@davemiller8215]

did that yahoo actually just ask if the SLQ was silver?!?!?!? and did you actually think the merc in the beginning was from 1912 or 1915?!?!?!?.....REALLY!??!?!?!

[@metaldetecting2077]

@davemiller8215 I leave my videos mostly unedited and of course we may be wrong with our dates on when coins are produced. It is always going to be a learning curve and we are good with that.

[@davemiller8215]

@@metaldetecting2077 ....as am i; it was funny stuff

[@joeylefebvre5272]

Maybe big Dave has some videos that we can watch and be enlightened by.
