conch shell celt/adze insitu.

No one is allowed to pick these things up along the waterways here.. So I suppose a photo before it's completely destroyed is better than nothing... Barely.

Cool thanks for the look before it breaks apart

 

[The Grim Reaper]

I would have a hard time leaving that lay.

 

[GatorBoy]

Seems anyone in good conscience should

 

[SCrocks]

Would be hard for me too- My luck it would be a sting operation like they do with the fake deer. Put it out at the back of a field and wait for someone to take a shot at it then the calvary comes swopping in.

What did it look like when you got it home? I would have been a shell collecting Yankee that day who did not know any better.

Sometimes rules and laws are not fair are they? They wish a surface find to be destroyed or lost forever. Man have we let them mess up our country. Nice Kodak moment on that celt.

 

[GatorBoy]

Thanks guys..
I usually don't take many photos while out and about.

 

[painterx7]

It's hard to dig the phone or camera out at a moment like that haha

 

[GatorBoy]

I had to set the metal detector down too.. haha

 

[painterx7]

Glad you found it boss good deal

Its a shame you cant pick them up anymore. The waves will crash on it and break it. But I understand thats the law and its a shame. At least you were kind enough to share a photo of it with us.

 

[monsterrack]

That would be very hard to not pick up.

I would have a hard time leaving that lay.

Me too!!!

I think you get a fine for looking at them (if you know what they are.) That said, I'm pretty sure you can use them to hammer in a beach umbrella with no issue.

 

[GatorBoy]

Oh yeah.. That's fine. :-)

 

[curious kat]

....for real? Why in the world not?? Guess I've been living under a rock, in the least populated part of the US & haven't heard about that....hey...that's right, I do...lol

 

[GatorBoy]

Its a long story but its a good example of over compensation.
If the law were a vehicle on a highway it would have gone out of control and flipped over

I would have a hard time leaving that lay.

I'll be honest! I wouldn't let it lay!
