Metal Detecting on the beach? I found this gentleman quite comical as I watched him shamelessly comb over the sand in search of coins, jewelry, or perhaps some hidden treasure from pirate ships. I thought to myself, I'm sure it's quite exciting when you spend hours pacing up and down the beach, with no luck at all when all of the sudden you hear that infamous beep...beep....beeeeeep sound you've been waiting for letting you know that you most likely discovered a beer can or if you're lucky, a nickle from 2002. Now I'm sure there are some metal detecting enthusiasts who have found some pretty neat and even valuable items. In fact, I heard of someone who actually found a pair of neat old 16 gauge shotgun shells, a 1936 quarter in really worn condition, an old broken English padlock and a beautiful little 1943 King George penny buried in the sands of time. Chances are these items were taken to the Antiques Roadshow and valued at $2.17, but hey we all have different ideas of excitement right? I'm sure after hours of coming up with nothing, even the slightest beep beep sound and a lucky quarter can make any metal detecting adventurer excited. Don't worry, Adam burried his pocket change before we left, hopefully it made his day. :)

Welcome to the blogging world! It will be great to see what you are up to! Miss ya!
You are hilarious!! I love this post. So clever. :) I too am happy that you have a blog. Now we can keep in touch!
So FUNNY! By the way, did you know I was getting you a metal detector for your birthday? I thought the only thing better than searching for metal in the sand would be searching for it in deep snow! Don't thank me now... just send me some 'valuables' you find out there and that will be thanks enough.
