After my good hunt - went up to the car and took off my wet suit and put my gear away
grabbed a bite to eat - and asked my gal what she wanted to do and because tide was coming in and had no other plans - we decided to stay and relax
I put some sunscreen on and laid down. I had my sandy wet boots still on and had them sticking out off our blanket ...but it was 80 out and a cool ocean breeze was blowing ...nice
then a large group plopped down right in front of us
6 kids - couple of mothers, one of their girlfriends and a grandma - they pretty much all were kicking sand as they positioning themselves in front of us - not caring at all that they
were upsetting us - kids walking on my blanket - kicking sand on us. I whispered back to my girlfriend "I'm just waiting for one of them to step on me" - grandma steps back - kicks me then steps on my ankle
she almost fell on me but surprisingly she save herself but did not even apologize - Im not happy
then one of the mothers called all the kids over for sunscreen - one of the children was from Africa - and came as a guest - his mom could not make it
other kids were saying to the mom "he doesn't need sunscreen..come on" - but she insisted - he could still get burned
he had his glasses on and she told him to take them off and just let her spray some on his hands and he could just put some on his face
once they were all covered - all the kids ran into the ocean
finally peace once again - 1/2 hour later they come back out of the ocean and the boy with the glasses is looking for his glasses
everyone panics and are looking all around the blanket - they are kicking sand around - at me again and Im getting po'ed again
I say to my gal, "I think the kid lost his glasses" we wait and listen
He thought he dropped them next to the blanket where he put the sunscreen on - I had noticed he had put them in his pocket and finally spoke up
but he said he did not have them and they head to the shallows to see if they could find them
Im shaking my head cause water was churned up and they would not be able to see them and expected someone to step on them
I asked them "would you like me to try and find them?" They said "what makes you think you can find them?"
I told them I have a metal detector up in my vehicle and its water proof and if they are still out there - I could find them
So I went back up and grabbed my machine and mask - did not take scoop cause I did not want to risk breaking them - figured they should be right on top and I should be able to see
or feel them - they insisted I try around the blanket - I told them they would have stepped on them by now - I jumped in the surf and got a few small iron signals - after about 3 minutes later
got a loud zap - put my face in - there was seaweed and shells being tossed around and could not see what I had - reached in and felt them - bingo - had them
everyone was cheering - most other people around didn't know what was going on - kids were cheering - moms couldn't believe it - grandma was blessing me
they texted boys mom and she wanted to kill him for losing them but they sent a pic of me returning them and she text back I was her hero
they offered to buy me a drink or something - told them I don't take anything for finding and returning - the boy came over to me a few times and thanked me again and shook my hand - think
he might have gotten a butt whooping had he gone home without them - told them just how lucky they were to have sat in front of us - had they been down a ways - I would not have paid attention
and they were lucky I had a water machine and lucky we had not left after my initial hunt
