| Cannon Ball Partially Uncovered in Conglomerate. Find and photo by Fred B. |
You know how it is when you get a signal that reads out as iron and it sounds big and deep and you pass it up? Just junk, you think to yourself. Or maybe you had iron discriminated out and didn't hear it at all and wonder why your not finding anything. This is the kind of thing you could be missing.
Fred B. dug this conglomerate about three weeks ago. He is what e said about it.
A very heavy conglomerate that was about 12 inches down at low tide. After driving around with it in the back of my car for a while, I decided to start dissolving the shells and sand with muriatic acid to see what was there. Well did I ever get a shock when a cannon ball started to appear, which just goes to show, you never know what you are going to find in those conglomerates.

Super find Fred! Congratulations, and thanks for sharing.
There is still a lot to be found. This is one fine example.

On 8/21 I posted a coin and wanted to see what you thought it was. I'll give you one more day to send me your comments.

There aren't any storms yet, and there are no big change in beach conditions yet.
You can see from today's post that if you are willing to work for it, there are still good finds to be made.
Happy hunting,
