Default Case of Beer, $.01 + iPod

Ok posted this here because technically this was found in sand...a sand bar of Coldwater Creek near the Steel Bridge which feeds Blackwater River near Milton Florida. This is only my second hunt, I'm still learning my Ace 250, but practicing in sand is so much easier...I would have needed a bulldozer to move all the dirt if this wasn't a sand bar. Ipod is a new 8 gb, and its charging in my truck right now...So I guess I don't have to spend $180 on one for my teenage daughter. I'm guessing it was left there this weekend as it was around 6 ft from the waterline and it hasn't rained here in a bit. I'm excited and looking to find some older silver soon...Buster will be proud of my bottle caps and pop tops...!!!

Now THAT is an Impressive Collection of Beer Caps! That is a serious party sandbar, who knows what else you'll be finding there in the future? Between wrestling matches between young bucks and petting sessions with young does there's liable to be loot in and around that sandbar someplace.
Good Score on the I-Pod!

Cheers,

BDA
