Hi, I've a property near Omaha Beach and surface finds are pretty frequent. Stuff is still washed in from the holds of sunk vessels and the tides can reshape the beaches uncovering all sorts of stuff. I always try to be around for Spring tides for that reason. As Steve says though, caution!
I would love to see some of your Omaha Beach findings!!! If you manage to show us something you will offer me a lot of daydreaming!!
