Weird night on the beach

[EL Pulltabio]

In my 9th year of detecting beaches at night I've seen a few memorable
incidents:

Of course, there was a small army of fornicators over the years. They seem to prefer
moonless nights. I simply turn my head and pretend something far out at sea has caught my attention.

There were amorous males so intoxicated they tried to give my a hug(yuck)....or beg to tryout my detector.

A muscular man in his early 40's wearing only cutoff pants stopped to chat with me at about 0330 one morning.
I couldn't help but to notice that he had dried blood on the sides of his head from 2 open wounds. His shaved head
only made the wounds more noticeable. He claimed that some guy beat him with a ball bat. That situation got worse.

Then there was yesterday morning. I knew the beach where I was detecting is way overhunted but at 67 yoa, I figured
at least I'd get some exercise. The beach surprised me with a 14K white gold wedding band, a silver chain bracelet and .47 in clad.
Weird, huh? A 5+ hour effort. Some nights I couldn't find a bulldozer in my living room.

It looks like you had a real good night. You just keep knocking them out of the Park. Congratulations.

Good finds. I never have any trouble going over hard hunted areas! It appears you feel the same.

Very nice finds.In my area all the parks are closed at night.Some places here it isn't safe even in the day time.My first concealed weapons course about 4 yrs ago at least 10 of us were avid park hunters.Though a night search would be interesting I feel that you could stumble into a bad situation.

Sounds like you were in New Jersey.
