Hit the beach early this morning at a spot where a guy had previously said he lost his wedding band. I was trying up high and decided to try the water while the tide was still dropping. About the time i get by the water, there is two young kids and two ladies by me. We're the only ones. Turns out it is a mother, daughter, and two grandkids. Well once i pass them, there is this little shark. Maybe a big bonnethead? And it's pushing itself up towards the bank. Maybe eating shrimp,or sand fleas? Anyway it spins around, and about that time i see the other people fixing to go in. I holler," Hey! Don't go in there! There's a shark!" The Gramma hollers back! " A deep hole?" That didn't even rhyme!
Anyway! I say "No, a shark!" She says "Huh? Oh i see it!" And next thing you know it disappears. The ladies say"That was neat! It's our very first trip to the ocean!" I decide to wait it out a bit and hope the shark crossed the sand bar. I look up and the ladies still got their cameras. They ask me. " You seen it again?" I say "No!" They say "Hmm? Shark can't hold its breath longer than 15 minutes!" I say " Do what? Sharks don't breath surface air!" They say."They don't?" and look at each other
Anyway as time passed i figure the sharks gone. I go in the water. And not 5 minutes later the sharks hitting the bank again about 60 feet to my right. I figure he's likely moving outside the bar. So figure it's okay. Dug a dime waist deep. Next thing i get a lower tone. I use my coil like a kickstand when i'm digging. Not heavy pressure. But enough to keep my balance. Second scoop i'm raising my scoop up and get a big "Thunk!" in my lower coil shaft. I'm not talking a light tap. I got the hell out of the water! Thought about it a while. Then just left that beach altogether. Could have been a rock shifting. But i wasn't gonna go back in and find out. You guys that go in the water at night can have that krap!
