Hurricane Ida Stirs Up Treasure
Posted by Jeremy HarrisNov 16
Wayne Argo of the Mason Dixon Treasure Club in Frankford Delaware has tapped into one of the best beach hunting strategies I know of. In the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, the beaches were left eroded and a lot of material had been shifted around leaving a wake of interesting debris that would put a twinkle in the eye of any beach-comber.
He knew these “shifted sands” would have dredged up treasures normally out of reach so him and many others combed Rehoboth Beach in Deleware with their metal detectors on Monday to find some goodies. He managed to find, among other treasures, a large cent, a British half-penny, and a 50 caliber bullet from WWI. He also confessed to finding gold and silver jewelry but didn’t provide any details.
The East Coast is notorious for large storms affectionately called nor’easters which twist and turn the sands uncovering valuables. If you are looking to do some beach hunting, wait until after a major storm and you most certainly won’t be disappointed!
