Evidently, there's an enterprising individual in Santa Barbara that sets up coin toss games along the walkway to the wharf. I gotta believe after he/she picks up there are a ton of missed coins that a detector would pick up in this area.

Those guys are always there next to the pier. Gotta respect the effort in their set ups.
Ron, at the moment I am in Mission Hills near Burbank. We're in the last 2 days of our vacation before we head back to Miami on Thursday. We started off in San Francisco and after 5 days there rented a car and we've been making our way down. Yesterday, we stayed in Ventura. Wife loved rocky San Buenaventura State Beach where she made one of those really cool Zen rock scupltures. I have loved every place we have been to, and thoroughly enjoyed the surprisingly cold summer weather until we got near LA. The traffic down here is amazingly EVEN worse than what I deal with in Miami. And I'm not loving the 102° here at 5pm either!
What my wife and I have been utterly FLABBERGASTED at is the cost of homes in all the places that we have visited. Our home is very well situated in Miami. We bought it 24 years ago and we couldn't afford to buy it again today. It's valued somewhere around $800,000. Run down shacks in the cities we've been to in Cali are more expensive than our home. I just don't know how people can afford to live here. There are a couple of beaches I wish I would've been able to detect - one of them being Santa Monica today, but that wasn't in the works for the vacation. We've definitely had a great time down here other than the parking ticket I got in Venice Beach today.

Looks like a message to me, but I know nothing.

Hey Felix!
You can try Santa Barbara beach itself. Also, if you head North a little ways, there is the beach adjacent to UC Santa Barbara. Good for some jewelry, as long as you can deal with the plethora of beer caps and beaver tails. If you head North a little further, you can hit Goleta beach.
Good luck buddy.
