Concerning the round lead object found by Dan B. and posted yesterday, I received a number of responses.  Jim M., Russ P., Joe R., Jeff M.  Mitch K., John H., Steve M. and Joe D., said the round lead object is a garment, hem or drapery weight.  If that wasn't enough, Joe S. sent a photo of a drapery weight (bottom right below).  That certainly matches. I think that one is pretty well settled.



Concerning Dan's other object, a couple people agreed with me that it could be a belt or strap clip.  Mitch K. said maybe a suspender strap tip, while Jason T. thought maybe a hair clip.

Thanks for all the responses.  Every one helps.  Considering various alternatives or possibilities helps.

I didn't receive any ideas on the other LM X marks on the other item I posted yesterday.

As someone who came of age during the Viet Nam war, the recent TV images of Viet Nam were haunting.  I could not help but remember the fall of Saigon and the U. S. helicopters overflowing with those desperately fleeing as well as the desperation of those left behind. That was 40 some years ago.

Pepper Park Early This Morning.

I was going by Pepper Park this morning, so stopped for a few minutes and took out my detector.  As is usually the case during snowbird season, it had been heavily hunted, but I picked up a few shiny clad coins.

It was pretty buggy this morning.  It rained last night, and I was glad I put on long pants and sleeves.  Beach conditions were not great.

Pepper Park This Morning.

I got fifty ones at the bank to look through.  I found two star bills and a 1999 series bill, which was in better shape than the newer bills.  No good serial numbers of anything of much interest or value.

The tides are pretty small now, and it doesn't look like we'll get any more than a two foot surf for a week or so.

Happy hunting,
