Default Florida finds
Didn't find any gold coins that washed up on the shore, but we had fun looking! The pic with the necklaces were the finds from two hunts on the beach. We were warned that Better Half's XLT wouldn't work well in wet sand, and it didn't. Actually, all the beach finds were from the dry sand. Sure was nice being barefoot in the sand and MDing!

The other two hunts were from parks. We hit a honey hole at one of the parks, but even though we called the PD and found out it was ok to hunt the parks, a park worker asked us to hunt anywhere but the ballfields. At least we each found a cool token before we were asked to leave!

FXDix, thought of you and your wife when we found the butterfly hair clip!

The little dinosaur came up with a piece of scrap metal and made my heart jump a beat! (We held a baby alligator before digging it.)

If you want to see Florida pics from our trip, I'll post another thread under "Everything Else".

Nice haul! Nice to see the butterflies have moved south now too! Looks as if the two of you had a fantastic vacation! Well, except for the start when you had to go on standby!
