You can tell its summer in Florida because it rains just about every afternoon.

This afternoon was no different. Started raining hard at around 4:00PM, and I figured the beach crowds would leave in a hurry.

I drove over to Manasota beach, paid my $1.00 parking fee, and headed out onto the sand.

I was the only person there, and found a nice tide line where the previous high tide had left a 4 foot wide 'table' with a dip in it for the length of the beach.

I started following that line with my Excalibur II, and in less than an hour found about 20 coins, and a nice ladies watch.

The watch was still ticking - with Central Time Zone time.

I wanted to get into the water, but the waves on this side of Florida have been brutal for the past few days. Too dangerous to get into unless you have a buddy watching you.

Still, finding 20 targets in an hour was nice - even if they didn't include any rings.

Wahoooo! That's a $400.00 watch!! Citizen Eco-Drive with diamonds!!
Congrats Bill great find. Better than a handful of toe rings any day.
 
According to the Citizen Watch web site, the watch is a ladies Eco-drive, with 24 real diamonds around the rim, and a mother of pearl face. Also it is water resistant to 330 feet.

No engravings on the back, so I guess I can't return it to whoever lost it.

It cleaned up real good, no scratches or wear, and all the diamonds are still there.

Maybe I need to go back and do the rest of that stretch of beach tomorrow.
