When I was in my teens,(i'm now 34)my family moved to the coast of lake Erie. The Vermillion area. Several times during the year old rusty nails would begin appearing in piles at the water line. We would take rakes and rake up a small mound of stones and gravel and let the small waves wash over them. We would begin the find silver shield nickles, St. Christhoper Medallions, and cruxifixs <---sp? Silver was really expensive at the time and I was young, so I don't have them anymore. I don't know if this is helpful information to anyone but if it is let me know.
