Bob - If you ever wanted to be...
A Treasure Hunter, you know, one of those Geeky looking people on the beaches with
headphones on, swinging a metal detector back n forth for what looks like hours.
Well, here what you can find in about 12 hour's of hunting after a big storm
blows through... :) lol
Here�s a summary of my hunting.
These are the results from a Thursday and Saturday evening, and a Sunday morning. I spend about 2 to 3 hours detecting each time out.
I'll start with the Junk... lol... Woops Today's Dawn, Sunday Morning.... A pretty nice one.

1 Gold Plated Women's bangle, and a men's chain. Nice and heavy chain, with at large clasp, but no markings, so it's probable junk....
244 holes dug, and filled in...
And Last but not least;
3 rings. Top is 14k with 3 diamond chips. Middle is 14k, and the bottom one is a corroding 10k men's ring that is inscribed " Tyler and Priss ".
All told that's.... 247 holes dug, and filled in.... lol....
My legs ache, my back aches, and my left hand has a blister at the base of my index finger from using the sand scoop digging up all this stuff....
Cost to get all this Great Stuff....
You figure it out... 400+ miles at 36 MPG. at least 4 meals out at fast food restaurants and 8 AAA batteries....
Anyway, the weather was perfect, I got to view some nice sunsets, and sunrises, and was out in the fresh air, BUT, I still need to find that nice 1+ carat diamond ring someone lost, so I might just break even at this hobby....
