Default anybody know anything about brooklyn pixies?

Had something to do in bklyn. today, so after that i went to coney is. beach. Detected for 3 1/2 hrs. what a waste of time as far as finding anything of note!
So far i have detected in bklyn. 7 or 8 times - both on dry sand + in the water. To date i have found nothing better than a quarter!
I am confused about bklyn. Pixies - do they remember all the bad things i have said about people from bklyn. in my youth (i was raised in the bronx) - or is there a special way of garnering their favor of which i am ignorant of at this time?

Looks like a tough hunt! Being a southerner born and bred I know nothing about them Yank Pixies!

Just kidding, but better luck next time, Beale.

Wow, that is strange. I am going to hunt in Brooklyn in December and would have thought there would still be loads of treasures. Go figure.

I don't know anything about the pixies, but I'm hoping, for all your troubles, they at least gave you some of the beer that went under those bottle caps?? Nice collection you've got started, though!
