Treasure on the beaches of St. Augustine . . . . .

[Andy Sabisch]

I know we all like to see what the rest of us are finding but sometimes we forget why we are out there in the first place . . . . . and it's not about how much we can find or what it is worth . . . at least it's not for many of us.

This past week I was fortunate to be able to spend a week with my daughter in St Augustine, Florida . . . the oldest continually occupied city in the U.S. Unfortunately hunting in the old part of the city is not allowed but we did get to do some beach hunting in between the other activities we engaged in while in the area . . . . .

Here are a few photos of the most valuable thing I found while hunting . . . . . . and it fits the true definition of TREASURE - "something of extreme value" . . . . . spending an afternoon hunting a sunny Florida beach with my daughter reagrdless of what we actually recovered was priceless to me and time that produces memories that last a lifetime.

Over the years some of my best hunts have been with friends or my kids and even if nothing was found, the time spent together was what made the memories.

I hope all of you cherish the time you get out especially if you can share it with someone else . . . . .

A day outside hunting is a treasure in itself. Add good friends or loved ones and it is truly a special find. Congrats, glad you still remember what is important in our hobby. Thanks for sharing.

I use to hunt with my son a lot but now he is to busy with being married new house and work , I have to get him back to the hobby (it was best time- camping and metal detecting) Congrats I am glad you had good time with your family.

Sounds like a great time Andy. So, did you leave her with that small coil so you could cheat and clean up with the big one?
