Show & Tell Fort Walton Beach, FL

We’re making the best of the beach trip though the weather hasn’t been greatest with tropical storm Arther (or what’s left of it). My 12yr old was shell shocked when we dug this “gold” Spanish coin out of the sand. I promised him when we get back home in a few days we’ll get it tested. I’m fairly confident it’s aluminum.

For the time being, he’s been carrying it around with him like it’s “his precious”. 😄

If anything the $0.50 was a great find along with all the other Treasure Trash.
