Another JFK half a battery change, and other weirdness

That makes 5 JFK halfs so far this year, none of them old enough to be silver, so I spend them at the store hoping they will get lost again. I have the habit of looking in trash cans at the parks I hunt, as I turn on the machine, I briefly glance in there, you can tell what went on there the day before from what kind of trash is in there, and what you might expect, how long they were there, for instance, if theres a bunch of birthday party type of trash, diapers, etc. focus up on gold rings...If theres malt liquor or energy drink bottles or cans, focus up on chains etc...just trying to get the mind set for working the area based upon evidence of usage...Changed the batteries this am, I think that makes 3 times this year? maybe 4...the coin total is 4340 and clad count 335.54 so this F70 is an economical rig. There was a dead guy who washed up on the beach Monday morning, I was about 100 yards from him and the sand rake operator found him before I did and called the cops...it was 7 am. Had the sand rake guy not found him, I would of... I dont know what I would have done to be honest, but I guess sooner or later if a fellow spends enough time outside early, it is a likely situation to mentally prepare for. In one of the gravel totlots I hunt, some little kindergartner kid keeled over dead in his mothers arms a week or two ago...he swallowed a rock and it choked him. nobody knew until yesterday the cause.

Yeah..sorry about that Coilfisher...I need to get a good camera..somebody stole my flip-flops yesterday at 6am at the beach...it was very windy and nobody was there except me and some flip-flop stealing sonofagun! Oh well, I'm sure I'll find a pair that fits down there myself! :rofl: I did get 3 bucks clad. It was so windy some of the coins were laying on top of the sand, and the holes in my sandscoop were making a cool flute like whistling sound.

The case of the filched flip flops or someone pinched my thongs. There could be a movie script in this...
Are sure they just didn't blow away? Maybe the killer came back (they always return to the scene of the crime you know) and for some reason took them, figure that out and you'll have they murderer! Could the tide has got them? Or maybe you just forgot where you left them.
:wiggle:
 
Gee Tom is right Mud. It does sound like a James Bond movie. Wind whistling, 5 halves , dead body , missing foot ware, dead batteries, mysterious number 4340. It does have all the makings of a horrible, scary, crime movie about Aliens.... Nice detecting Mud. Those are some great coin counts....Z
 
Zeek, you were the one that started it! Dont get me started on Aliens! Tom, I pinched a pair this am, swiped some sandals, last nights drops if you will, ceptin' they are wimmins, and they almost fit! There's some big ol gal out there unshod! I've got really wide feets, perfect for sand crawlin' "Ol' Paddletrack" is what they call me...I was up at 3am, it was 55 degrees just perfect! On the sand at 4, home at 8, made another canoe paddle with my machete out of a blown down ash, now for a nap, and off with the Wife for a night of live blues and dancing! I think I'm back in shape to work the sand..it took a month..
