I started out early this morning to go to a new beach (for me) to hunt. But... I got there way to early and could not get in. I didn't know they had a gate there! I had over an hour to wait so I decided to just go on to Clearwater Beach and hunt there. I never was a patient person! So nothing there. At CWB I put my gear on and started for the beach. I went by a lifeguard tower and hit a small spill of coins. That was nice! The sun was not going to come up today I could tell but it was light out so off I went to the water. I got a hit as soon as I entered the water. A penny! Well that was ok. It was a start! At least I got a signal IN the water this time. I saw Ken and Les walking by me on shore headed for the south end and waved. I slowly made my way down to the pier. I wanted to hunt near it on the south side. When I finally got there I noticed something in the water bobbing now and then. Now I don't wear my good glasses out there so I can't see real good distance-wise. As I got closer I realized it was someone was snorkleing there. Perhaps he was looking for something he lost? I tried to stay away from him and in the area I wanted to hunt. I really wanted to know what he was doing but... I know I'm nosey. The waves kept knocking me off the projected line I made myself and I ended up closer to him that I really wanted to be. But that was good because then I could see that he was MD'ing! Yep, I know they do that with a snorkle but this is the first time I've seen it. I don't know if he was finding anything or not. I really wanted to say hi and ask him but I finally decided that I would be good and leave him to it. So I headed back north. I did get a few hits in the water today but nothing to write home about. I found another hoop earring that looks like it could be copper and a few more coins.
It was getting really nasty looking out and it started to rain. The sky was getting real black. No lightening or thunder but I decided better to be safe than sorry so I headed out of the water and back to the car.
As soon as I got out of the water and up on the (dry?) sand I got another hit. This time a very small charm, perhaps from an earring? A little farther on another hit and this was a spoon. This is the third spoon this week! I bet the hotels are short on spoons. By now it was really starting to rain and the wind was blowing hard but I still had a way to go to get back to my car. I ended up with a couple more coins and got soaking wet. Didn't matter. I had just got out of the water anyway and was already wet! Heh heh
My total coin for today was 96 cents, a spoon, a charm and an earring plus the usual junk consisting of pull tabs and bottle caps and a good time. Can't beat that, I'll take it!
