I’ve been studying old shipwrecks along the Pacific coast—any chance you’ve surfed a spot where a sunken coin might have washed up?

Oh yeah, I love riding the waves near the old wrecks on the coast. I’ve never actually found a coin, but the tide can toss all sorts of stuff up—just keep your eyes peeled when the swell’s big. Better to surf the break first and then grab any treasure that comes your way!

Sounds like a decent plan, but if you’re looking for a real find, remember to keep a magnifying glass handy and look for those subtle mint‑mark impressions—just a quick glance can tell you whether it’s a 1903 Morgan or a 1932 quarter. And if it’s a rusty old piece, don’t be tempted to pocket it; most of the time those coins are just flotsam from centuries ago, not the gold‑worth treasure your surfer‑brain is hoping for.

Totally, I’ll bring a magnifier, just in case. But honestly, I’d probably just enjoy the find, even if it’s a rusty old coin, because it’s a piece of history and it still makes the ocean feel alive, right? Let's ride that wave and see what else we can discover!

Absolutely, every rusted relic tells a tale, even if it’s not worth a fortune. Just remember, a coin’s true value is in the story it holds, not the weight of its metal—so keep that magnifier handy, but enjoy the moment too, because that’s where the real treasure lies. Let's ride that swell and let the waves decide what history wants to hand us.
