I got down to the beach about 6 a.m. Earlier than my usual than my 10 a.m. start. I was supposed to meet up with Mighty Mouse but he was unable to make it. He was still recovering from some dental work, bummer. Oh well, the show must go on. I went from 6 a.m. until I got in the car at just before 5:30 p.m. I saw 7 or 8 other MDers while I was there. The one guy was there with his wife. He was detecting and she was digging. She was using a small digging tool and a plastic spaghetti strainer LOL. It was funny because before I got my first sand scoop that's what I used. Hey, at least the guy got his wife out there with him. My wife has no interest in MDing at all. Anyway I took $8.05 in clad from the beach. 15 quarters, 30 dimes, 15 nickels and 55 pennies including a 1956 wheatie. I also found a 1995 20 pence piece and a souvenir penny. The gold and diamond and emerald piece is not gold or diamond or emerald. My happy dance was cut short. No matter, I had a great time that's good enough for me. Maybe that slacker Mighty Mouse will show up next time LOL.

Thanks, CHKNHAK. The coin in question is the 20 pence piece. Have you been doing any hunting on Sundays since the Steelers are doing as well as they're or are you like me and want to watch when they turn it around?(I was born and raised in the 'burgh.) I'm wearing a Steeler t-shirt purchased in Pittsburgh in my avatar even though it's tough to tell. Take care. Bill

Thanks, Joe. Most of them were there one minute and gone the next. There were enough bikinis around to take my mind off the disappointment about the fake jewelry. 8)

Sherm, 10 a.m. is my normal starting time. I started at around 6 a.m.(that's when Mighty Mouse wanted to meet) I was sore for a day or 2 but other than that I had a blast.

It is fun anytime you can get out. I enjoy watching the other hunters. Makes you wonder if they buy an books or treasure magazines to learn. I once tried to help one young guy with help on pinpointing. He told me where to go and stop trying to muscle in on his territory. I had to show him my jewelry and hoped it made him sick.

You did very well. I can't last that long anymore.
