Lots of foreign coins at one of my local beaches today. Some newer British coins (1 pound, 50 pence and 10 pence) and one older British coin a 1964 3 pence. A 50 kopeck coin from Russia, a 1961 Canadian penny (same age as me) as well as a couple of Bermudian coins and a Lincoln.
The kewlest find was part of an old clay pipe that I noticed before I dumped my scoop, it pays to look for more than the target sometimes. I'd guess 1800's or earlier.

Cheers,

BDA
(no gold or silver today but it will come in time, all good)

Check the date of the 10 pence peace! The ones from the 60's had a silver content.

Unfortunately, it's one of the newer ones from the 1990's.

Nice finds BDA, maybe that old clay pipe was used by a Pirate.
