The great beach wash-up
Well then… I finally made it back to Florida where I belong. The desert was fun, but nothing like home. So anyhow, I have a new toy. A Garrett Infinium LS metal detector and I just have to give it a try.
So I hit to beach today with my Infinium in search of famed golden treasures. Jewelry shopping if you will…
We got to an area that had a lot of vegetation washed up and contained within was a ton of plastic crap. There were zillions of sunglasses and swim goggles. I saw one guy walking away with a couple of swim mask’s. There were also handfuls of sunglasses. 
Plastic crap galore, and a ton of can slaw. There was so much slaw in the area it was impossible to hunt with the tector.
Anyhow, the family female command center boss directs me to unload the tector and start poking about the seaweed for cash. She apparently is pretty good at spotting US mint green concealed within seaweed green.
We come up with $25 in cash. The grandkids have swim goggles for life, and everyone we know is getting a pair of sunglasses for next Christmas.
It's cash!
Found this ID bracelet too. I called the number on the bracelet and it seems that the owner is training for a triathlon and lost it swimming last Wednesday. I’ll drop it in the mail to him.
I found a nickel with my detector… Put in my place once again~
A little worn, or laundered?
Beach junk
Road ID tag... returned to owner
