The way I see it, it's just not fair! Most of the items I find are either pieces of ladies jewelry or men's wedding bands, but nothing I can wear, or would dare to wear, anyway. Women, guys with better halves, they can either adorn themselves with many of the neat items they recover or they can watch in silent bliss as their soul mates quickly confiscate the stuff, thus assuming the role of sort of a real life, walking talking, display case. "Why Tina, that's a beautiful ring. Where on earth did you get that?" Tina smiles and replies, "Well, George found it while shopping one day near the beach and after acquiring it he gave it to me." Looks darn good on her, George's world is at peace, all is well. Heck, when Margie digs a cool piece of jewelry from the beach she takes it home, cleans it up, and "Bling!" Looks darn good on her and her husband, Ralph, didn't have to endure hours at the mall and he didn't have to spend a dime on the darn thing. Both he and his wife are happy. But it's a much different world for the single guy, he finds it, thinks it's really awesome, but all the pretty flower motifs, belly button rings, earrings, toe rings, and sparkly necklaces and ankle bracelets are starting to generate a lot strange looks and hushed conversations. The other day I found a really cool pair of Kirkland tortoise shell sunglasses, you know, the style with a fake golden flower a green emerald on each hinge, problem is, they simply don't match all my other bling and camo detecting cap. :laughing7:

Just sing Elton John songs all the while. (I like Elton songs, not like that ,not that there's any thing wrong with that.)
Another option may be to pin them inside an over shirt, look shady and glance about,then hold shirt open and give a sales pitch.
Or just keep wearing your finds in good health.:o

Her boyfriend was 6'8", 275, and when he was through with me they weren't headphones anymore. Trust me one this....those really loud responses make me jump clear out of the water now. :laughing7:

Appreciate the thought, but I don't think I want to be seen approaching beautiful hotties on a beach and then doing this. :laughing7: (especially while wearing my finest jewelry and camo cap. :laughing7:)

pretty much all ladies jewelry I find all goes to family, lucky enough to keep some mens for me that I still have, but a lot of the mens jewelry I found had to sell for the $ and I wish I didn't have to, what about some of the chains you found ?

If it can be cleaned up ok then I have outlets for those items, but sadly, a great deal of it eventually ends up seeing the melting pot. I also have a friend in Indiana that I send some of the stuff to - he's like a brother and also my best friend, my old hunting partner before moving to Florida - just a way for us to stay connected and still share our hunts.
