First time at the beach hunting in two months this morning.  Right off the bat I had trouble.  I had to park at the meters and the darn machine would not take my quarters.  Well it took 2 and then kept spitting the rest back out no matter which ones I put in.  These were not "found" quarters either they were from the bank and the machine still would not take them.  This happened to me once before and that time I went ahead and took a chance of getting a ticket.  I didn't but I didn't want to push my luck so I used my credit card to pay.  Well wouldn't you know..... it would only take it by paying the MAX amount of 10.00!  **sigh**  OK   I was stupid and I went ahead and paid it. 

Off I went to hunt.  I had to stay in the wet sand to walk but I will say I did wade into the water a few times up to the top of boots but other than that I stayed in the wet sand.  I did manage to get quite a few hits but most of them were pieces of crab or lobster traps, a few pull tabs, one spoon, 2 sinkers, the tip of a pen, 2 dimes and 1 penny.  I had intended to stay down there for about 4 hours but ended up giving up after about 2-1/2.  It was enough for the first time out in a long time.  OK so now big finds this morning but I did get out and it was great.  Maybe next time............

Welllllllll  apparently I had a toenail that needed trimming and it rubbed against the next toe and made that bloody and of course hurt like (*&(*.  My leg does ache some but I kind of over did the walking which everyone warned me NOT to do.  Did I listen?  NO  I am fine just so anxious to get back out there.  It will be a few days before I can get back out there again but I may try the park hunting again tomorrow for a short while.
