Was out hunting Mia beach it was getting late and I was calling in quits. As I was walking out of the water a little girl looks at me squints and says "are you trying to find treasure?" I said "yes I am!" And no sooner I say that the excal gives me that golden tone and in one loving scoop pulled up and nice 26 gram 18k necklace!!!! Gave the girl a pat on the head as I danced off the beach ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1429540162.743288.jpg

Wow! I love the last swing of the coil or last cast of the fishing rod, success stories. Kinda cool that the little girl was a Prana Talisman (positive thinking yields positive results). That is a wonderful piece of jewelry.

All I ever get are Asian tourists asking " Ah....what ah you wooking for? I reply "oysters". I get the same facial response if I say oysters or diamonds or money... To funny.

Nice find! I recently had someone ask me why I was swinging a Geiger counter.. I grinned and pointed up the beach towards the nuclear power plant... That was priceless

One of my replies when asked what I am doing is that I'm looking for clams. When the clams fart I can hear them with my head phones then I dig them up with my scoop. Some people actually believe that line.
