Take a look at this crap

Even the picture sucks

On the bright side your Tom Brady got away with cheating again, leaving 2 Patriots employees to take the fall. That should lighten your mood.

It could be much worse .... look at it that way

I visited Ft. Myers once, many years ago... before 9/11, anyway... because a buddy of mine had moved from here down to there and he fell in love with the area. Even though he had moved to the Clearwater area by that time, we revisited some of his old haunts in Ft Myers, and stayed at a hotel right on Ft. Myers beach. I loved it too, although at the time there was beach reclamation going on and at times the smell wasn't quite so pleasant... but at night, when the work was over with (or maybe just moved farther down the beach) walking along the beach feeling that cool talcum-powderey sand under my feet.... it was beautiful! I even tried a conch fritter (mmm - chewy) (I was hoping to try gator but apparently it wasn't in season...?)! I always remember that trip whenever I see BWD post.... and reading this post I have to say .... if I could be there, in Florida again, metal detecting and finding stuff like that, especially if my old buddy Scott was along with... I would be soooo happy.

I'd be pretty happy with that haul! Variety and silver! And you weren't at work!

Your finds look a lot like mine, Dave. I too know your pain. But, every day that I go out I say, "maybe today!"

Coke stuff is hot.

ARC · Sep 8, 2015

Inspector · Sep 8, 2015

Hey Dave, looks like some nice finds there, and any day of digging even junk is better than not digging. HH

Yea, its one of those old mini coke bottles.... copper on the outside, and plastic on the inside... found these before, it had been hit by a lawn mower, this one in good shape. I wish I knew the origin of these things though...someone told me they were key chains, but I don't see an attachment or connection...

Could they have been salt and pepper shakers? I think I kind of remember seeing or having something like that.I think there use to be toys with little bottles that went into crates, and into toy trucks. :dontknow:

BigWaveDave · Sep 8, 2015

Way to small for a salt/pepper....but I like the idea of a toy... like would go in a pack, on the back of a truck....cool.
