Could it be concrete maybe part of a bulkhead or pier? Do you detect there much? I was wondering how good it was. With them cleaning the beach all of the time.

When iron (especially large RR sized bolts, or big washers, etc...) settle down into bedrock (tidepool bottom, etc...), and sit in salt-water brine and minerals for decades, then : The iron leaches out and fuses to the surrounding sand and silt. To form those encrustations.
Sometimes coins, that were sitting next to the iron object, become fused into those corral crustation things too.

cool, i usually go every year with my brother (didnt go last year).
the machine beach combers catch large trash on surface. mostly found tent pegs, modern coins. i found this at night. after Labor day OC relaxes the restrictions on metal detecting.
