Default Hunted North & South beach in Miami

We went to my sister in laws for the 4th. She lives in Miami, so I got to hunt a little. Only a few hours each day. The first day I hit North beach and only found some clad, lots of trash in the water there along with weeds which made it hard.
The next day I hit South beach. The water was rough and I only hunted in the water around an hour.
I will tell you this the guys in that area have it made. Tons of people on the beach ( and all wearing huge jewerly) and in the water even though the weather was lousy. There is miles of beach and I never saw another guy with a detector while I was there. That whole area is loaded with people and many many small beaches that are also crowded.
Next time I go I will plan a full day hunt. I can tell there has to be some good hunting there. At south beach I found a small chain and two junk earring.
It was a change not to run into three or four other guys....
My best find was a pair of Armani sunglasses brand new, which sell for $250.00 .....
Oh and eye candy all I can say os WOW !!!!! (many girls without tops even though it's not a nude beach)

Armani's are always a good find! No scratches on the lens which is a bonus, must've been a recent drop.

Cheers,

Yes when I left the beach I noticed a store right there that sold them. I bet someone wanted to look cool and bought them to go hang out on the beach and lost them right away. Only thing missing was the tag lol....

Yes very, only problem I had was trying to dig that deep with the diamond scoop fast enough before it filled in wih the next big wave. I had one tone and I thought it was on top after about 18" i recovered the dime.
