Jamaican Beach hunt.

[Merf]

After a week at Rose Hall , Jamaica I am still recuperating.
Way too many rum drinks and Red Stripe Beer.
I went out early a couple of mornings and hunted the beach.
There were already hotel employees there raking and grooming the sand.
They all were wearing expensive looking watches and I would guess that they do not miss much that is lost on the beach. They rake it every morning.
I only found a nickel, a quarter, three Jamaican coins, [two were $20 coins],
And a 10k earring.
The weather was perfect and we had a great time.
Thanks for looking and best luck to all, Merf

Sounds great Merf. I spent a week in Ocho Rios, Jamaica in November and it was amazing. Definitely lots of Red Stripe and Rum Drinks.

So many different rum drinks----I think my favorite was the Dirty Banana.

Montego Bay from the mountains.

Thanks for all the pictures Merf; the wife & I spent 11 days down there a couple years ago. All we did was drink & lay on the beach with a couple trips into town. Your pictures really brought it all back. I didn't metal detect back then, wish I did...who knows what treasures the rakes missed! Glad you had fun.

Looks like a great time..but I would've been leary of a drink called the 'Dirty Banana'... :P

$20 Jamaican is worth about 35 cents American. Still a good looking coin.

Wait about 5 years and $20 American will be 35 cents Jamaican.

Well, one thing is for sure from your pictures. They love us down there!

Welcome back.

P.S. Did you use the 1023?

Yes, It worked well on the beach.
No problems getting it in or out. I just packed it in the suitcase with my clothes.
