This is not what you might think when you clicked on this post.
Today had a super low tide in South Carolina about 11:30 am so I detected Garden City and Surfside Beaches during the crowded time.
Found some sinkers, hot wheel car, some clad and the usual pull tabs, bottle caps and a couple chewed up cans with sharp edges.
A couple hours in the hunt a man and wife came over to me and said "it is awful hot out here. Would you like an ice cold water and handed me a cold bottled drink!"
That brought a smile to my face. He is a fisherman so he ended up with a couple 4 oz sinkers with hooks and tackle.
While we were talking another man came up and asked me what I recovered. It was sharp aluminum scrap. He said let me take that trash to the barrel for you.
Wow...he took that and another partial can from me for disposal.
Next was a man and boy asking about the hobby and how to get started. Very nice fellow. I asked him if his boy liked hot wheels. He said that was one of
his favorite toys. I gave him the one I dug and you would have thought it was the whole world. The boy thanked me probably 4 times before running to the water
to clean off his new toy!
On the way back to the car a couple sitting outside a condo asked me what I dug today. I said mostly pull tabs, bottle caps and pieces of aluminum cans along with some coins.
The lady said they were watching me and wanted to thank me for helping keep the beach clean as they appreciated that!
As far as finds go today wasn't on any particular note. But I left the beach with a smile on my face and with a little faith in humanity
