OMG Metal Detector Near Disaster

[LawrencetheMDer]

I was hunting wet sand with my Manti and M15 coil when I can across a target at VID of 32; sure to be a pull tab. Even worse! I uncovered this cheap charm bracelet that contained 10 metal charms and 50 small metal wire loops, like the kind you would use for keys but much much smaller – about a ¼” diameter each. Even worse, the charm bracelet was held together by a rubber band – a thin stretchable band! And the band was pretty worn out. Imagine this piece of crap polluting the water line with 60 small metal pieces of pure junk! Disaster avoided.

Just returned from another beach hunt and found 2 more of these little metal pieces (next to cent for size comparison); looks like parts of one of those bracelets I discussed above. I find at least 2-3 of these each time I hunt this beach dry sand. Not sure if I could recover one of these little metal loops in the water, one of those targets that keeps passing through the scoop.

Happy Hunting

Whew, that was a close call. Glad you came away OK from that near disaster Lawrence.

Hope you sleep well after that traumatic event.

No clue if you could possibly find the chick who lost the bracelet, but that looks like the sort of thing an AA participant might put together with milestones like days weeks etc. Would be important for them to get it back. Is placing a lost and fond notice possible?
