WTG guys. My family is in Daytona wish I was.

Yeah my brother lives in Port Orange and I'm usually at Daytona for the race this upcoming weekend. Kind of sad i'm not there to go hunt the beach. But I'll leave you guys to the hunting. Looks like you guys don't need me wishing you luck but good luck in future hunts.

The sand must be really moving around to find so many old coins on a beach as well hunted as Daytona. Good bit of hunting, guys.

Talked to a friend that hunted Daytona Beach today and he found some more 1940's coins today. For the last few weeks may beach hunters have been finding coin's in the 1940"s and some merc also...we ar all trying to figure it out too......My fron found lots of nickels today that all are 1940"s Anyone have any ideas why all these type of coins keep showing up in the surf...just so you know it is all in one area about a mile long......I have hunted just south of the area and just north of the are with no older finds......

Tom, maybe that stretch of beach was heavily used in the 1940's for some reason. Also, it is quite possible that the shifting tides moved some sand around in that particular area over the years bringing those coins a little closer to the surface. I really don't have the answer. I am still trying to figure out how gold from a sunken ship finds it way to the beach?

Nice finds, Dri-wash. There is always something hiding in the sand!

It appears to me that a 1940's era section of beach has been uncovered, at least for the moment. Hunt it Hard! There's got to be some good loot in there, if you just take the time to look for it.
