Gold, Silver and Junk

[bdahunter]

I got a call from the camera shop today and it was good news, Pentax honoured the warranty and I went into town to pick up my replacement camera. To save on shipping the shop gave me a new camera out of their inventory so that saved me weeks of waiting on a replacement to be shipped in from the States. After I charged up the battery I tried it out and it works great, the 1 Gig memory card is fried though and that wasn't covered under warranty so I'm out the bucks for that but at least I have my camera back.
Here are pics of the gold, silver and junk jewellery that I've managed to loot from Bermuda beaches since the camera was drowned.

I've been taking it easy lately because of some pulled muscles in my back and shoulder but a few more days of rest and I should be back in the hunt again.

Cheers All,

u said the card was bad?

bad in the camera u dropped over into the sea or sea got into?.................i have found many cameras and cell phones from davey's jones locker and the card is the only thing that is any good.

take a rag and rub it and clean it some.................even use green scrubby pad......................might get it going

Too bad that money clip didn't have several bills still attatched to it!

Very nice finds here. I envie your location and treasures that are there. Hope the muscels heal soon. I think you told age and about mine and I know they hurt longer than they use to do so.

I didn't keep track but I would guess that it totals around 10 hours on the low end and 12 hours on the high end.

Thanks Mate,

I tried polishing up the card and it worked for one pic and then died. I don't get it, the card only got wet for a few minutes. I'll have to try and clean it again.
