I went out with high expectations this morning. When I woke up this morning I had been dreaming about find a nice bracelet. Well, that didn't happen. LOL

I had my first encounter with the manatee's this year. I hate when they creep up on you. One minute you are happily hunting and the next you have this huge animal right next to you and you didn't even see it coming! One of them was really big, the other one was big also but not nearly as big as his/her buddy. Still.... they are beautiful, gentle creatures. One thing I am sorry about is that they seem to like the area where people swim and the kids are not so kind and gentle. Have I mentioned I don't like kids? Well most of the time they are just fine but when I'm hunting.... I don't like kids. They splash, they yell, they are obnoxious, they are kids. The parents aren't much better. They yell and scream at their kids and play their radios so loud I bet you can hear it for a mile. Sound does carry across the water. I like it when I get there real early and no one is around. I only got about an hour in this morning before everyone started showing up for the Memorial Day.

I didn't find a lot today either which was a surprise but still it wasn't a total bust. I got a Puka shell necklace, a "Becca" earring (it is NOT gold), some change and oh yeah.... I found the mate to that BIG earring I found the other day. Yippee.... now I have a pair of them. Each one 4 inches across! I will look hot in these babies! ::)

Well like I said not a lot today but still fun.

Oh and I almost forgot I found my 20th ring for this month. It is just a little junk ring but still a ring.

Yep, I have a total of 20 rings for May. Most of them junk but pretty impressive for me!

Oh the 2 rings that are circled are the same ring.... I messed up with I put this collage together.

Well it's been a great month for me. I hope yours ends as well or better.

I found a match to that earring saturday behind the Hilton on CLW beach.

Had that big Ol manatee swim past me too, really does scare the C**P out of you, but what a site.

You're definitely kicking my butt in the ring department. I think I've got 2 for the year (1 gold, 1 silver). I see you found my daughter's earring. J/K she doesn't have her ears pierced but that is her name. I found a bracelet today, maybe we could work a trade ;D

Nice work :icon_thumleft:
