Beach Strollers find buried treasure

Kathleen Magnusson enjoys her beach strolls on Harwich Ports warm beaches. Last week she discovered something gold and shiney in the sand which caught her eye. As she uncovered the sand the object began to take on the familiar shape of an antique cannon. With more help and an engine expert the enigma was solved. Ross Gould who is reknowned as an antique engine expert and top notch mechanic at Harwich Port Boat Yard took his free time to come over and identify the block by its copper rings (the shiny gold color) which were part of the magneto unique to the Model-T engine. Why engine was buried on this beach 75 years is a mystery, however, the Red River area was used as a drop zone by Rum Runners during prohibition.

That was rude to cut off the expert explaining the artifact because the author wanted to entertain his idea that it was some romantic rumrunner.

I did a search on "1992 noreaster point pleasant" . If you click the "15th anniversary of '92 storm" button, their are images of some cars on the beach. It states that the cars were buried after the 1968 storm. It could have been that this was common practice up until the 60's as obviously, ecological concerns are not what they are today.  But I know that the images that I remember were from the 20's and they were buried around the same time.

@MrHobiecat. That is funny. Too bad I'm not able to afford a gold coin!

[MrHobiecat]

Whenever you goto the beach, keep an old gold coin in your pocket

If you see someone walking along with a metal detector, run up behind them and say HOLYKWRAP HOLYKWRAP!

then while he is watching, pretend to pick up the gold coin right where the guy just past

Sometimes they throw their metal detector all the way to the surf line!

@Dix994 Interesting. And NYC still dumps old subway cars to make reefs in the harbor. I'm used to knowing about junk in the Great Lakes because I live on the shore of Lake Erie, but I didn't think about ocean and beach dumping. Well, not since all those needles washed up on the East Coast. Bleah.
