this is my first post in this section....but you'll see why.
i hit a new-to-me beach today for a few hours, barely covering maybe 5-10% of it. considering it was a holiday, the weather sucked and not too many people around. even the lifeguards were bored having no one there to babysit.
anywho, i'm finding the usual "stuff", tin foil, bottle caps, quite a few clad coins, etc.
then.... i get a fairly high tone, high 60's to low 70's on the At Pro and i boot some of the sand out of the way. (and YUP.... caught this dig on VIDEO!!) i saw a flash of something in the sand and didn't even need the pin pointer, my size 11 hoof did the job. out pops this beautiful silver bracelet! i'm like, ok, cool, a bracelet.
i'm handy to the lifeguards and of course, the usual questions come up: "What'd ya find?" i'm casual about it, a couple dollars in change, what might be a tiny gold earring (no stamp on it, but it's the right color!) and then i haul my bracelet out and the girls' jaw drops! she says: "Holy ****, that's a PANDORA!!" i'm like, whatever, lol. i don't know jewelry. if she'd have said Tiffany or Rolex, it would have got a reaction out of me, but i've never heard of any Pandora before, lol.
WELL.... i really check this thing out when i get home and everything on this bracelet is stamped 925 and little stones on some of the various parts! it weighed in at a cool 32 grams. i'm thinking: alright, an ounce of silver, that's what, about 25 bucks in melt value.
THEN: i search this Pandora stuff online and wowsers!!!! i can't believe the PRICES they charge for this stuff! the 18cm chain alone sells for 75 bucks!! adding up the little thingys attached to this bracelet, it's close to $$400 bucks!! who'd have thunk it? certainly not me, haha!
ok, time for some pics and a short vid of the big dig.
oh, and i also had my bestest coins-dug-at-the-beach day as well, a whopping 20 coins totaling $10.86, whoo-hoo! i have now officially beat my total from last year by over a dollar.
ok, i'll shut up now and post some pics and the vid.
thanks for lookin'.
