Yeah, somebody was holding some for sale. Looks like a few dime bags.

The cops drive up and they toss the pack.

Toss it in the garbage or break open the little baggies and scatter it to the winds...

As a cop, I worked the Summerfest grounds in Milwaukee. We would walk along the wooden fence on the grounds. Another cop would collect the "bags" as they were tossed over. "Lot o' pot" hit the winds that way! TTC

Aw man, don'tcha hate when that happens! :laughing7:
I mean, you gotta stop detecting, get some one over there, just cuts all in to the "finding the good goods" time. :BangHead:

I found a duct tape wrapped, brick/block looking thing, kilo, buried just under the sand, down close to the high tide mark, in front of the main life guard station.
Then I couldn't help but think, "It's a trap, don't touch it". :laughing7:
I made the lifeguard cop man come outta the tower, (they know all us tekkers), he stuck a blade down in it......
Yep, someone came up short. :dontknow:
It and him went his way, I went mine. Don't need that kinda hassle.
GL & HH!

There went your 3 grand find Patcat:laughing9:(well,depending on what year it was)
Red, in the words of Grumpy Cat: NO. :laughing7: Our law enforcement here is very creative and I do know they set traps.
I got better things to do in life, than worry about a measly 3k or even 30k, in illegal drug activity.
Some headaches ain't worth it. Not to mention the element ya gotta deal with. NOPE. Not me.
There can be boatload wash up, DON"T TOUCH IT! :laughing7: Trust me.

It DOES wash up on the FL coast often. One of the security found a BALE of weed one day in '02 off of the Kennedy Space Center's shoreline. When airplanes running up from South America spot THE MAN, they start pushing them out the door.... by the TON! I found a message in a bottle. A couple on their honeymoon through it off of a cruise ship 3 months prior. I sent an e but no one responded. (Maybe they were in divorce court already). TTC
