Thats right Mumzies ... that was a stroke of luck guzz
 
Those goodwill stores around venice, nokomis etc. are realllllly great!! I amazes me what people send off to them.
Great find!! Cheaper than a set of batteries for the detector.
 
Guzz that was a good buy.  I've been looking at wetsuits, the cheapest I could get a shorty for is around $70 for a good one.  For a farmer john you are looking at triple that or more. 

You're luck is back!!!!

We went down that way a few weeks ago.  I couldn't believe all the good things you could buy at these stores.  In one of the stores I bought several tin type photos from the 1800's.  They were really "expensive" at 75 cents each. 

I went into the local Salvation Army store in Pasco County and from the door I could see a piece that I couldn't believe was out.  It was a woman's powder can.  I looked at the price and couldn't  believe it was marked 99 cents.  I pulled up the lid and saw where along the lip it was marked sterling.  The motif was Chinese dragons all placed there by hand.  I took it to an antique store to get an idea on value.  She told me because it was a British import from China, from around the 1880's, it had a high value, somewhere around $850 to $900.
