Treasure hunting by the river...

Very cool. I am at Emerald Isle, NC right now, low tide is at 2:04.

Hoping to find something historical or valuable or both.

67 degrees, light winds, if I find nothing it will still be a good day

I grew up in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. Spent lots of time hunting campsites and battlefields from the Rev War and Mr. Lincoln's War of Aggression. Found bucketfulls of bullets both fired and dropped, buttons, belt buckles, cannonballs, etc. Was great fun and it's really a cool feeling to dig up something from your heritage and hold it in your hand.
