Somewhere between the sand and the water
It has been a long dry spell for me. I had forgotten what gold looks like. My best find lately has been scrap silver. So I hit a very unlikely place to hunt today. One that I have never found anything in years past. But what the heck. it was close and I just had a couple of hours to hunt before dark. As I was wading about knee deep the 3030 sang a sweet song, one I haven't heard in a long time. So down goes the scoop in the surf and nothing, down again and I almost wet my pants. So I put the treasure in my zipper pocket sang a you ain't a slumpy anymore tune and headed home.:kingdances::excited: Look what a beauty, could it be I hit it rich. HXXX no. Plated. It's pretty but I still live in the house that says Major Slumpy on the mail. box.:tissue::cuss:

I'd take that plated bracelet over a penny, dime, quarter or a half dollar (clad). That thing looks sweet.

Cheers,

way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory!!!! We've all been there done that but you were on cloud 9 for awhile ;)
 
Long dry spells are part of my life so I can commiserate with you. The thrill of victory dashed on the rocks of defeat. Danged junk sellers make life hard for us.

Stopped me for awhile. I dared not look at it long on the beach and didn't know until I got home. My wife hates to see me cry.

Pumped up? My heart stopped beating for a minute. But Crash is my name. Crash and Burn that is.

You got it mud. I think they are traitors to the pirates code. They should be made to swab the deck, clean the toilets and then walk the plank.

That's right Skippy. I've really nothing to complain about compared to what I've been hauling home.

So said," you don't like it so I'll take it." So I complained and could have sold it for $10 on ebay. Should have known better.

They are getting REAL good at plating and design of jewelry that give us the mumbles........
 
Hahaha, that looks exactly like a bracelet I wore to my first high school prom 20 years ago. Mine was definitely costume jewelry too. I think I still have it, actually. Just plated sparklies, but it's a cute memento. :yes:

You are correct dew. I've seen some so good it was hard for me to believe it wasn't real. Thanks for the response.

Funny I had a oldtimer one time say something very similar. He would say about his wifes cooking.

Mrs Libby's cooking would make a dog break a chain.
