Default The Beach Bikini theory

The day started slow. I went up and down the lane and nothing. I needed a new strategy!

I have found that I have better luck when I begin to hunt where the bikinis are on the beach. Today only reinforced that theory as I found my first gold for 2008.

I had no luck up to this point and I decided to hunt the dreaded "Beer Can Cemetary", an area of muddy bottom, 4 feet deep at today's low tide. I avoid the area because over the years people would take their spent beer cans and sink them with their feet into the mud.

The other areas of the beach having been hit hard, today was the day! I picked a pair of bikinis and started to search away from the beach. In the middle of the cemetary, I hear the tone I love to hear and out pops the Grecian Keylock ring. This is good! I make my turn and start in toward the beach. I notice a girl in a bikini lying 45 degrees to the surfline. I turn left 45 degrees and BAM! Out pops the crucifix! I'm liking this theory more! I turn perpendilcular to the bikini'd sun worshipper and take 3 steps and BAM! Out pops a tricolor gold band with moissanites.

Not very scientific but, hey, you can't argue with success!
