Do Spring Breakers Lose Expensive Jewelry

[Overkill Overkill]

Hello all,

So, do college kids lose much valuable jewelry? What are peoples' experiences with post-Spring Break metal detecting? Thanks

Living close to South Padre I can tell you that after this weekend I will not venture back to the island until spring break is over. Those who do KUDOS to ya. The grid lock traffic on and off the island and the mass amount of kids everywhere drunk, just isn't worth it for me. I have found class rings, and a few silver, and lots and lots of the junk rings, but having been there and done that once was enough to last me a life time. Nope you brave souls that hunt spring break hot spots during spring break, deserve either respect for you determination, or a free trip to the looney bin, I just haven't decided which it is yet. I rather brave the crowds for Easter, memorial, 4th of July, and other holidays. It might be a nightmare even on those weekends but at lest I know the gold is there.

Well here's my take on spring break.....it takes more money to get to the beaches these days so I'm guessing many of those who can still afford to make the trip probably have something worth finding if it gets lost. I have a son who is in his "5th" year of college and you'd be surprised at how much expensive jewelry his college classmates (especially the ladies) have. Heck, I gave each of his last two girlfriends small gold diamond rings that I had found. (Boy, was that dumb, like they were going to stick around and become part of the family forever. )

After further consideration forget what I posted, I was wrong, DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING.....

NO ONE WILL LOSE ANYTHING, THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOLD, EVERYONE STAY AWAY FROM THE BEACHES IN FLORIDA......

10's of thousands of man eating sharks have been spotted in shallow water off the coast of all of Florida's beaches, with reports of some even coming ashore and dragging people in the water..... STAY AWAY!

I have put a claim in with the state of Florida for all the beaches in Florida. I now own all the lost rings and anything else in the sand. So don't get caught using a metal detector on the beach, because I own the rights. They will have aircraft and boats watching to make sure that no one violates my claim! But I will sell a license to you for $3K to be able to detect on any beach in Florida. Those sharks coming ashore are being paid by me to enforce my claim. The sharks pay is a nice lunch.....being anyone on the beach.

Hey, if the Mel Fisher guys can get a claim in the water, I can do it on land!

PS...I really don't own a claim so don't send me any money.....unless you really want to.

shark cage for shallow water remember

Not spring break, but the same general concept: the best day I ever had on gold jewelry was on the beach, day after Black College Reunion ended in 2002. 3 necklaces, 1 ring, 1 earring, 3 hours, dug more garbage than one could imagine.

Skunked the next year and the year after that. Haven't been back.
