Default what I found at the beach!!

Last week I rushed home from work ,picked up my metal detector,and went to the beach to hunt for about a hour and a half.
In the rush I forgot my trowel, so my gf and I had to dig by hand.
we found a penny , a pop top and several bottle caps. Then as the sun was fast going down, we got a strong signal about 8" down. We dug and dug and dug and finally found it.... it was a 8" long metal trowel. We both had a big laugh over that. Did'nt get rich but it was exciting.Can hardly wait to get out there this week end.
Good Luck,Dave

Well I'll be! That sounds like it was telling you to keep huntin' till the sun came back up, don't you think?

What a great story.

The Universe certainly has a sense of humor.

Yeah Rip, I was hoping to find a ring or something valuable too, but maybe next time or the time after that or that or that. It's still loads of fun.

Default Nice

Good find- now you have a backup.

Maybe next trip you might want to leave your wallet at home .

I have to tell you that I shared your story with a friend of mine last night and we both had a laugh for about 5 minutes. I was cryin'.

You just can't make stuff like that up.
