Although we were hundreds of miles south and east of Michael we still got the joys of 50 mph winds and 4 foot breakers. Lucky to get knee deep in the water without losing balance or getting a salt bath was too much for this old cat.
Met up with Doug a couple times, Dewey all the time because I'm not sure if he sleeps on the beach. We also ran into Beachrumbum saturday. I wanted to get a picture of the group together but it would be easier to herd cats.
The finds were meager, but even though we were kept on the sand for most of the week Wichita mike and I did OK. I got the usual clad, one wheat penny, the lead sinkers, four sunglasses, all junk and tossed, a couple nice toy vehicles which were quickly handed over to the first kids within arm reach. ("Mommy,mommy, is he a spaceman") I get a kick out of innocence.
A couple pieces of junk jewelry, and four rings. 2 junkers, one silver so thin and light it wouldn't show up on a scale. The highlight was an 18k and Platinum band. Nice and heavy in the hand.
