Default Spring Break Hunt #2...Keys to Good Detecting!
Took off to nearby Key Biscayne again this morning. Hunted for 3 hours in the last dry sand area along the beach that I hadn't hunted. No gold today, (hey if I would find one every time I went out I might quit my day job! ), but did get my best clad total recently at this beach so far at $7.13 and over 100 coins! Got the Dominican Republic coin too, the keys and a rifle shell. My shoulders are a little sore going to take me a nap now.

Sure doesn't look like any recent drops. Good job of cleaning up on the "old coins". I can sure understand why you need some rest. Things will improve as the season progresses. Rest up and get back out and get the GOLD.

Nice clad haul. I think the key would more likely open A bottle of beer.

Great hunt and congrats on the key. That find makes
a person wonder where the chest is buried that it opens.
