Default Every cloud as a silver lining

Sometimes you don't care if the suns out or not, if the tide high or low,today was one of those days.
The was nothing special about today, high tide shallow water detecting in about 3 foot of water in a very trashy area, not the best start, but so what, i just felt so good to be in the water.
3 rings silver, 6 silver bangles, and about 5 dollars of clad, no gold today, but for some odd reason i didn't care.
At the end of my time in the water i meet a work friend on the beach walking the dog , and showed him and his girlfriend some of my finds for the day.
This is where it got interesting after saying goodbye as i was walking to collect my flippers on the beach i meet a man called Joe who was interested in what i was doing. We talked for around 10 Min's when he suggested a good place i should detect.
It was a place i new, i had no chance of detecting there as it was a private part of the island called "Tuckers town" this is a place where the rich, and the famous live.
To get to the beaches there you need permission, and need to get past the security guards. so after explaining this to Joe he said no problems i'll give you permission where upon he give me his tel no. and asked me to ring him next weekend after calling he would meet me at the security gate, to gain entry ,and then show me to the beaches.
If this man is legitimate he says i will probably be the first to detect there as he as never seen anyone else detecting in Tuckers town.
As i will probably be on the island only another 3 and a half months before i leave, and get married this would be the perfect ending to my stay in this land of tranquility.
I'll be keeping my fingers crossed !!!

See what happens when you are nice to people?


I hope the "rich" have slippery fingers like the "poor" do.
You have a week to do your research as to what spots to hit. Now hit them hard!

I don't know that Tucker's Town hasn't been hunted before but I can tell you this much - I've never hunted it, though Mark Emerson may have.

Good Hunting to You,
