Default Houdini died at the beach!

Well I spent the last 2 weeks detecting beaches near Bradenton, Florida. I hunted daily for at least an hour or 2. I really did not find much as I hunted solely in the dry sand. I tried to dig everything but did resort to coin shooting as the sun was setting on me. I got lots of exercise,had a great time, and got most of my family out with me. Found $12.88 in clad and also a Euro coin. Pictured is my clad, my "interesting finds", and Houdini's epitaph. Sadly I unearthed someone's pet frog that was buried in the sand not too far from the water! What a great hobby!

Some very different finds though cntrydncr1. Sounded like you had a good time and did what I did the last beach trip : work the sand. The next one will find me in the water.

If Houdini the frog was noble, does this mean he was a prince?
