Hi all,
Retired to Florida because of it's lack of snow. Had a metal detector before I got here but had to get a Minelab Excalibur so I could hunt in the salt water. So far I have found 4 rings and the best part was returning them to their owners. On a cruse to the Caymans I was asked to try and find a wedding ring lost on 7 mile beach and I got lucky and found it. Was he happy, saved his vacation. The second time was on a beach in Florida, a friend and I were working the beach we were asked to look for a ring lost 10 days ago. They showed us an area where they thought it was lost and again we were lucky and found it. Maybe someday I'll find some of that Spanish tresure, hope so but am enjoying the thrill of the hunt even if the find is just a penny.
