Hello, Tony! Lot of nice people on this forum and it looks like you're one of them. Thanks for the welcome-appreciate it. I'm assuming that the TX is for Texas-correct me if I'm wrong. Was down to South Padre Island in January and enjoyed the warm weather. Used my Infinium most of the time -great surf and wet sand machine, but I guess Tesoro has one to match it. Found a lot of clad quarters, dimes and nickles. My big surprise was a 1921 silver dollar at the end of the board walkway leading from a Hotel. Didn't find Singers gold though - looked for it for two weeks. Well, thanks again for the welcome and we'll be talkin' to ya again. Dimesworth.
