    Silver and scenery

    Since moving down to Florida, the misses and I can't get enough of the beach scene. Her shelling and me, swinging the Garrett, and this past weekend was no exception. But, while we are out doing our thing, it's always nice to take in the variety of wild life and scenery, oh yea, finding silver is always a plus. Just adds to enjoying this great hobby. Happy hunting all.

    Those photos are beautiful. Are those dolphins or stingrays? Congrats on your finds and spending quality time with the wife on the beach.

    Thanks Don. The second to the last picture are sting rays. Well, they actual call these guys "devil rays". I actual have under water video of them coming right past my legs. They never bother us but wouldn't want to step on one. Good hunting

    Awesome photos and nice finds. i would avoid those devil rays if I were you. Don't let them get to close just rubbing up against you may become serious. My great uncle died from that happening to him. Be safe and HH

    Thanks Coinnut and fsa46. I think half of this hobby is getting out and enjoying the areas we hunt. But when the detector sings our favorite tune, it's just the icing on the cake. HH all.
