I have been contacted by a lady that daughter lost a family heirloom on Pensacola Beach during her wedding. Not worth anything as far as money but priceless as far as family history.

Anyone that would like to help me search for it and return it to the family you can PM me.
If you want something for your time, if you find it I will make it worth your while personally.
I know the area and was there today.

I searched about a 40 foot wide area to the surf without luck. Found the usual stuff cans, pull tabs, bottle caps etc. The mother said they covered about a 300 foot wide area totally with pictures etc so

I will be back there tomorrow evening too

not yet I have covered about a 50 foot wide line to surf, which is a good 200 feet down at low tide. Going slow and gridding. I have found a bunch of cans and junk but not her item or anything else of value

I still have about 250 more feet to cover to say I have been over it. It could now be in surf too as the high tide mark was way up on beach. Still a game of inches so you never know and I am hunting solo

But I will keep looking

You did much better than I did. I only found one beer can, 6 caps, 10 pull tabs. I tried Navarre Beach this morning. Found a toy car, $0.12 and a redneck fish hook casing (size .30-.06).... they must have been shark fishing.

Anyhow, it was good meeting you Bridge. BTW, I think I may have left my headphone adapter in the Cibola. Went to use the phones this morning and oooops....

How'd the repair go? Was the pump bad, or just bad seal on the gasket?

Yeah, we had a few lines run through here. As hot as it's been, we needed the rain. Can sure do w/out all the lightning though.

I have now covered most of this area and without luck so far, we have had so much rain lately

might swing in water in a few weeks when I get back, not sure what might be left of it being in the salt as long as it has
