Kid was boogeyboarding in the surf in New Jersey and came up with Clovis gold!

Dang, all I find are seashells & fishing weights.  I did find an amazing perdiz point on Galveston Island one summer

Someone knew that it was a Clovis before he donated it, that's for sure.  Otherwise, it would have been placed in a shoe box and forgotten in a couple days.   :)

That thing is probably worth at least 5 grand because of it's rarity. ($5K)

I bet there's tons of very interesting stuff beneath the shoreline.
