Default The beaches of Pensacola Florida are safe

Went out early with "E" this morning----5 o'clock early. We headed down to Pensacola Beach after they had the Blue Angel show this weekend. Lost of beer cans and such everywhere. Found a little clad--1 Dime, 1 Nickel, 6 Pennies. Oh yes and the big one 43 beer bottle caps. Yes the beaches are safe for all to enjoy again. Also found 3 sets of flip flops and an apple with a bite out of it. "E" found about the same amount also. She will update after she gets on later I'm sure. I Used Tinman's old Surf Pro that he sent me to try.. Took a little getting used to, but I think I can work this thing. The waves were really high and I didn't get to far into the water. We then headed back up to our beaches in Fort Walton for a quick hunt. Found a few more pop top pulls. They clean the beaches with a screen machine that takes all the trash off the top down here in Florida. Well that's about it for that. I will invest in set of hip waders so I can get farther out in the water and a better longer scoop too. Maybe next week if all works out well. Happy Hunting....Buster.......

I think the waders and longer scoop are a good idea. Git-R-Done!

Yeah me & Buster were mainly beach cleaners yesterday, I ended up with 1 quarter, 3 dimes, 1 nickel & 5 pennies in clad, 5 handfuls of bottle caps & pull tabs, 5 child beaded pink & white bracelets, at the beach here in Ft Walton I found 1 dime & 3 pennies & a few pull tabs but it was sunny & warm so it was great to be out on the beaches.
