Default modern day pirate arrgggg

I told my wife I was a modern day pirate with my detector. scouring the beaches looking for gold. She told me I should scan the people laying on the beach and just take the jewelry they are wearing. She said thats how real pirates would do it.
Any one think this is a good idea or does my wife want me arrested?

if she wanted you to get arrested she would have recommended you hold 'em up for their jewelry at swordpoint, not metaldetectorpoint... i think...
