Today I went to Venice Beach. I got a late start and still got there by 11am. The beach doesn't look anything like it did all summer. No life guard stations and they have built a berm that has to be at least 20 feet high. Both sides of the pier have these berms. The low tide today was 3:30 pm.I started to grid on the north side of the pier. Working from the dry sand til I got to ankle deep. The tide was starting to go out. I managed a little over $4.00 in clad one foreign coin from Czech ( not even going to try and spell it) a costume toe ring and a stainless steel ring that really looked nice. I looked up, as I was walking out of the water, to see a film crew walking out onto the beach. You could see the grid marks I made as I drug my scoop on each return trip. They were kind of close to the pier and still setting up their gear. I got closer to them and keeping my head down I watched as a guy pitched some coins out in front of me.I never let on that I knew and just picked them up. Never said a word. Made another trip down to the water and when I turned around, they were playing frisby right in front of me. I'm an old stubborn guy and just walked through them. They moved. I made 3 more trips and as I was walking back up, a lady from the crew came up to me and ask if I could go somewhere else because they wanted to shoot where I was detecting. I looked at her and said Ya know I'm doing pretty good and I showed her the stainless steel ring. I didn't know at the time that the ring was stainless steel. Without blinking an eye she ask " If I gave you this gift certificate for $20 would you move?" I replied "so you want me to take the gift certificate and take a hike right? Yes was her answer. Before I took it I ask what time it was. She said 3PM. OMG I said as I took the money I gotta go home now.....I looked over my shoulder as I left the beach and she was shaking her head as she walked back. So basically I had a $24 day lol. HH GFP
