Well I just had to get to my Civil War site after our latest Hurricane hit coastal N.C. I had a feeling it was going to be awesome or completely washed away. Well it was the latter but I sure enjoyed it while it lasted and learned a lot about the War around Wilmington. Not sure if it was covered up by lots of sand or completely eroded away. Hopefully it’s covered up and I will see it again one day? Well so it’s just going to be a beach wondering and fishing trip it’s flounder season our first year of having a season. The beach wondering was quite productive for four days of hunting along with being a school teacher for my kids remote learning. During the trip. The rings were showing up consistently but only 10K and cheap silver and fake diamonds. Might be a 14K find or two in there? Alright I have a question on a find not what it is but what is the right thing to do with it? I found a cremation tag didn’t know anything about them till I found it. Do I leave it where I found it, keep it, or put it in the dunes overlooking the water where it is illegal to walk so the next metal detecting person doesn’t just find it. I decided to put it on the dunes good choice? I managed to find a couple sharks teeth. My fossil hunting buddy says it might be a small Meg but he is probably just messing with me. The flounder were elusive only one keeper but we got into the Drum! Utilized Flake fished with us for a day and we had a great time thanks for fishing with us bud! It’s been a crazy year and haven’t had much time to NA artifact hunt but I got the itch bad and am about to devote more time to it this fall. Thanks for the look everyone and good luck out there and yea sorry for so much wording.

Wow. Think I’m gonna hafta get me one of them magic sticks! You got a Claddagh ring, Irish symbol for Friendship, Love, and Loyalty, and little silver rodent charm may be Chinese symbol of $ fortune! You sure had an eclectic group of people around there sometime! Don’t think ‘bout pawn shops, and give both to loved ones! (Claddagh ring supposed stay in family).
I’m gonna be cremated in time and tossed in ocean at favorite beach (tho think that may violate some ordinance); you may wanna check and see if that crematory for people or pets! Idk; I’d prob’ly fling as far into water as far as could! Say, that wide 10 k gold wedding band not size 6, is it? I think was swimming at your beach once with one of the Mr. Cecilias and waves just washed it off and away.... Lol.
Seriously, both those fossils not really sharks’ teeth? ... seen plenty them, and fossil on right something special!Digging in GA, ‘bout a mile from the Savannah River-
Cecilia wow I didn’t know it was a Claddagh ring thanks! The squirrel is my favorite except maybe the arrow ring probably because it has an arrowhead on it! You know I thought about throwing It into water But thought it might just wash back up. Originally thought pet till I looked them up went through cremation process but doesn’t look burned like some on internet maybe better metal composition. Fortune squirrel I like that thanks for the wealth of information!

Crazy finds, but what has me intrigued is that .50 cal. you're holding. How in the heck did that get there?"The education of a man is never completed until he dies." Robert E. LeeComment

I'm thinking of the M13 or M16 Half track trucks that had the .50 Cal. Browning MG's on them. They were excellent against lower flying attack aircraft, and could fire more rounds, for longer than the Flakpanzer 38, or even the Wirlbelwind/Ostwind variants of German AA Vehicles.
I'm not sure that live fire that close to civilization is a good idea... the majority of Civilian casualties during Pearl Harbor was from stray .50 Cal. ammo from American AA Fire.

I’ll send you one Ethan. I don’t know if there are any stipulations in mailing live ordinance ! There, you now have a research project. -
If you are going to send something, I would suggest sending a casing and a bullet, and I can reload them without powder. I wouldn't want you to get in trouble with the gov'mint on my account! -
The gov don’t want me, and I’d like a vacation on the states dime ! Retirement sucks ! No you get the real deal or zero young Sir !

Finding your civil war site empty. Use have been a real blow.
But finding the local pawn shop open for detecting must have been sweet.

Hurricanes give and take. I believe a hurricane taking away a layer of sand is the reason I found the spot in the first place. I sure tried my best to find everything that was there but I didn’t find everything. Definitely my best ring hunt. Can’t believe how many full beers I found buried in the sand.,
