The article reads, "After the hurricanes of 2004, seasons have been less productive for divers. But in the days after the storms, coins and jewelry valued at $500,000 were recovered by beachcombers with metal detectors."

Hmmmm....I wonder how many of those "beachcombers" were divers just a few days before? ;D

Well said, Joe. Gotta keep that balance between bragging rights and being knocked in the head by the jealous and/or greedy listeners - even if you are just stating it. ;)
