Default The Sun Came Out This Afternoon So I Hit the Surf

2 hours didn't produce much but a couple of dollars worth of clad, a brass hotel key fob and key and most importantly a Silver 1934 British Half Crown! It was a Bermudaful afternoon and I stayed warm by staying in the shallows instead of going deep. I think it's time to hit the Mine again.

Cheers,

BDA

Sounds like a great day! I'm so ready for some sunshine and springtime and beach weather! Boo to the cloudy days and rain and wet-coldish-weather!
