For those wishing they could hunt the T-cost right now, we spent Thurs-Sun in Vero, Ft. Pierce, St. Lucie, and Jupiter...
Found some nice cuts on renourished beaches (news photos attached). Some areas had up to a 4-5' cut, but they were densely laiden with shreded aluminum. In case you are wondering why, this is a result of the machines that spread/renourish the beach sand. Anyhow, it was tough. You couldn't get a full swing without getting a promising signal. Depending on the size of the scrap, alum rang up as a steady number on the Nox as 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 15, 19, or 21. I filled four plastic grocery bags of alum scrap, not incuding full cans.
In Jupiter, the water was rough! The waves repeatedly bashed my scoop into my legs. Within 10 minutes I got stung by a jelly and then witnessed a 3-4' shark jump out of the water after a fish. I was contemplating go back on land when the life guards started calling folks out of the water. They changed flags and posted on their chaulkboard there was a risk of man-o-war. Ho-hum.
Totals:
zero - gold
zero - silver
zero - shipwreck stuff
4 - bags of shredded alum pieces ranging from 1/16" to 3"
1 - bag of alum cans
1 - pair of red sunglasses
$4.75 - clad
????? - Sand "bar" (Delray Beach) picked up our tab! yay!!
????? - Duffy's Sports Bar in Stuart paid for our meal! yay x2!!!
(-158.00) - fuel
(-345.00) - meals
(-000.00) - comped hotel
Skunked but still better than living in the snow belt.
