Well, I just spent a week in Destin, Florida. With the early Easter, the weather was a little chilly at first, but warmed up by Friday. I had to leave Saturday morning, though. It was a little too cool to get in the water, though. I hunted several beaches but I couldn't find the gold. I did get a 1944 silver quarter, a Merc.(can't see the date just yet), & a 1962 Franklin. Also got a wheatie. But, I did find a lot of pocket change: 546 coins for a total of $53.04. And about as many pull tabs. The weather was good, no rain & the wife & I enjoyed getting away for awhile. I had been working some 7 day weeks, 12 hour days & was ready for a little relief. It was good. Here's the pics:
The first pic is all the goodies, except for the silver coins that I'm cleaning. I ran into a couple on the beach that offered me $20 to help them find a ring that was lost 2 days earlier. I refused the money & offered to help. As I was searching the area, the man shoved a wad of bills in my opened shirt pocket. I told him not to worry about it, but he insisted. Unfortunately, I never found the ring. But, he wanted to pay me for trying anyway. After I got home, I pulled the wad of money out of my pocket & found $10. That's the wad of money in the pic. A few toys & a few teenie bopper thangs: No Gold or Silver jewelry. Unbeleivable, really.
The second pic is a stack of money that didn't need tumbling. The third pic is the stack of money that needs tumbling.
