Then we have the 73 year old woman, with skin the color of tanned leather stretched over thin bones, gray hair, wearing a white t-shirt over her bikini and bright red lip stick. She smokes like a freight train, on and off the beach, never venturing past the surf. With a smokers voice she kills the dry sand, grabbing up coin after coin, jewelry and the occasional Rolex from the dry/wet sand while pulling drag after drag from her Camel cigarettes. She's always seen wearing gold, from rings to necklaces, each one with a story of their own.

She's always on the beach, screaming at the others about "Sharks" and showing off her finds at the end of the day. She stops and talks to anyone with a dog, and blows smoke in peoples faces while talking to them. People approch her asking to help find a lost item in the sand. Her reward, a fresh pack of cigarettes and a Bloody Mary from the nearest bar on the beach.

We'll call her..."Geraldene."

The others just call her "Olé Smoky".

10 people are far to many for a reality show, being it MDing or not. What you need is only four or five people, each with their own characteristics and traits.

One could be a bubbly blond girl with a great figure in a skimpy bathing suit who finds everything from sinkers to knock off jewelry. She thinks everything is real. She's also a chad/pull-top magnet. She gets excited with every find. She's more eye candy than anything.

We'll call her Keri, with a 'K'.

The second person has to be "Mister know it all" who finds junk, but swears its real until it gets checked out at the end of the day. He does get lucky once in a while, but something always happens where he never makes a profit. Always bragging about "the big find" but never hits it. He's always having trouble with his MD. Dead batteries, loose coil... broken /lost scoop... etc.

Karma!

We will call him "Stan the man!"

The third person has to be the grumpy one of the lot. He's over weight, bald, wearing a suit of gray/white chest and back hair, khaki shorts and sandals. He has a bad temper and nothing seems to go his way. He finds anything, from coins to jewelry, but the best score always seem to slip from his fat fingers/scoop so he has to scoop up the same find at least three times before it makes it in his pocket. He looks like a buoy, bobbing up and down with the waves.

We'll call him "Angry Bob" for obvious reasons.

Next is a handsome young man, new to MDing who is built like a Greek god and of course rich beyond his means. He has all the new "toys" and gadgets but has no clue how to work any of it. Talk about a dumb blond, he fits the bill to a T. Swims like a lead duck (No body fat) and scares easy. Large fish seem to be attracted to his suntan oil/scent followed by big waves.

We'll call him "Bo".

Then we have the 73 year old woman, with skin the color of tanned leather stretched over thin bones, gray hair, wearing a white t-shirt over her bikini and bright red lip stick. She smokes like a freight train, on and off the beach, never venturing past the surf. With a smokers voice she kills the dry sand, grabbing up coin after coin, jewelry and the occasional Rolex from the dry/wet sand while pulling drag after drag from her Camel cigarettes. She's always seen wearing gold, from rings to necklaces, each one with a story of their own.

Does anyone have any better characters??

WINNER of the 10-10-10 student filmmaking competition for the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. A journalist is assigned to write a piece about an old man with a metal detector seen every day on a local beach. Once he learns of Metal Detector Man's past, he must learn from the mistakes of the past or he too is doomed to repeat them.



PS: I think they would have benefited from a technical consultant.
