I am fairly certain that this will never happen again... I was hunting a local town beach hoping to snag a gold ring. I was in waist deep water when I get a decent tone. I dig, and couldn't believe my eyes upon examining the contents of my scoop! The watch is a stainless steel watch that no longer works, nothing to write home about. Somehow it must have landed in the water directly on top of the $50 and weighed it down so that the bill couldn't float away! As you can see, the bill is in almost perfect condition so it must have been lost within the past few days. I didn't realize that the AT Pro had a paper money mode ;-)

I've found a few bills with coins wrapped in them while beach detecting, but they've always been ones or fives. Congrats on the $50!
