Default Went For A Short Hunt Yesterday

At that weird beach with all the shells but not much. about 74 cents in total. Some of the pennies are in such bad shape that their outside is peeling and they are encrusted. A lot of pulltabs also that look 10 -15 years old. Also found an earring that looked silver but it was fake. Planning on hitting the Catholic school this Saturday and going to ask the Father in person if I can come several times for an organized hunt between this Saturday, other days off and Spring Break. It would be nice to be done with the school by the first day or 2 of Spring week so I can hit other hot spots.
