Today we salute you Mr. Beach Metal Protector Guy

Some seek their fortune on the stock market, others in real estate, but you look for loose change in the sand

Armed with a 5 foot geiger counter, and the worlds largest set of earphones,
You live your life with a simple code of honor: Finders keepers, losers weepers

Sure people mock you, but he who holds 92 cents, a gold plated earring, and a steeled toed boot gets the last laugh
(Whos's laughing now)
So crack open a ice cold Bud Light O Sultan of the Sand, we'd give you a medal, but you've probably already found one.

I forget who it was, but one guy on the forum called himself "the geek with the beep stick." I thought that was pretty funny. I just call myself a coinshooter and sometime cache hunter.
