It's got a pink floral design on the porcelain, but the porcelain itself wasn't in good shape. I've still got the thing...somewhere. Found it back in the mid-90's.

I found loads of silver coins, mostly Mercury dimes and Washington qtr's that were pre-64. There were also several years of nickels in the 40's that had a high percentage of silver (we call 'em "war nickels").

People always joke about the old guy on the beach with the metal detector. What they fail to realize is those many of those guys are finding $1000 a day, or more, in jewelry. I know people in Florida that can average that any time they go out, but they also know what the heck they are doing.

This fellow made a short trip to Florida just a couple days ago...

The stuff's out there, but you do have to put in the time to find it.

BTW, they also find gold nuggets..
