The great beach wash-up.

[G.I.B.]

I hit to beach today with my Infinium in search of famed golden treasures. Jewelry shopping if you will…
We got to an area that had a lot of vegetation washed up and contained within was a ton of plastic crap. There were zillions of sunglasses and swim goggles. I saw one guy walking away with a couple of swim mask’s. There were also handfuls of sunglasses.

Plastic crap galore, and a ton of can slaw. There was so much slaw in the area it was impossible to hunt with the tector.

Anyhow, the family female command center boss directs me to unload the tector and start poking about the seaweed for cash. She apparently is pretty good at spotting US mint green concealed within seaweed green.
We come up with $25 in cash. The grandkids have swim goggles for life, and everyone we know is getting a pair of sunglasses for next Christmas.

Found this ID bracelet too. I called the number on the bracelet and it seems that the owner is training for a triathlon and lost it swimming last Wednesday. I’ll drop it in the mail to him.

I found a nickel with my detector… Put in my place once again~

Wonder if a shipping container fell overboard? I read your profile-- I am still an under paid deputy on the right coast of Florida almost directly East of you... if you get over this way PM me.

Will do, I might be that way in a week or so.

There could even be a big picnic and TN hunt in a week or two.

Now ya see, that would drive me crazy. Trying to find the origin could become an obsession....lol.

Laundered money maybe? I ran across a website that listed different cargos washed overboard and what sort of cargo it was. IE contain plastic ducks. That website also told when and where to expect the items to wash ashore at. That old computer crashed and I was never able to relocate that website but it sure was interesting to check out when I knew where to go to find it.
