Default Big South Beach Hunt

Wow it is almost finally here. The big South Beach Hunt. Going with my dad to South Beach on 2 29/07 Friday and we are first going to eat at David's Cafe at Lincoln Road (my dad's treat) then going to the beach from 7am till about 3 or 4 P.M. Going to bring cooler full of water and soda's and maybe a touch of but not too much cause I do not want to get hammered because it could ruin the hunt and basically spent all day detecting with dad.Also going to have a few sandwiches made so my dad and I can have a nice lunch without having to pay those radical beach prices. We were at the beach not too long and went to one of the vendors and spent like like 16 dollars on these tiny little chips with some soda so this time we are going to be ready and smart.
I expect some good finds at least some clad but if worse comes to worse we will still enjoy the beach and checking out those hot mama's. Will let you know if something good.

It would be nice to catch the sunrise at the beach. I wonder if there are any breakfast places across from the beach so you could have breakfast and enjoy the sunrise? That would be a great way to start the day and probably wouldn't cost anymore.

Cheers,

BDA

Wish I were going with you! Check out the News Cafe across the street from the beach, great mid east salad called Tabouli!

You may also want to get tide charts to hunt during low tide.
