Default lagoon booty

Hunted a Island lagoon today, This lagoon has a big sand bar that on holiday weekends is filled with boats tied to each other..one big party......so I thought what a great place to hunt the day after....wow talk about a trash field.... beer twist tops and pull tabs with every swing.....I did not find any jewlery but found 55 coins..one was a wheatie 1957 D also here are the pictures of the Island lagoon, one picture is of the lagoons local residents it kept coming by me to see what I was doing in the water, the last ones are of the defence system on lagoon beach...these thing are big and hard (coconuts can be dangerous when they hit you on top of the head)

Hope you enjoy the pictures.... Tom

What kind of fish is that? Is it a little tuna?

Good finds, btw. Too bad you didn't find any jewelery, but at least you didn't get konked on the noggin' by the lagoon defense system.

I think if it were 3 feet long I wouldn't be lookin' long enough at it to find out what the heck it was. Can anyone say heebie jeebies? It's a VERY good thing he wasn't in the mood for drive up KFC fer sure!

Wow, That looks like a real nice place. Nice finds & pix. Sorry ya didn't find any jewlery but your legs are still attached. Good thing they apparently aren't tanned enough so they look like they are Breaded. I think on the Beach, A Hard Hat would be in order. Man, I wish there was some water close to me. Thanks for the Pix.

Good Luck & HH.

What a neat place to detect. Some of those coins look pretty good. Way to go Tom.
