    Short water and beach hunt

    Hi all,
    Got out today for a couple hours in the lake st a secondary beach with the hope of better luck snd less hunting pressure. But as it turns out I found that nobody swims there much due to the accumulation of floating "scum" between the jetties. Yet I did discover that apparently people drop a lot of stuff over the edge of the jetties which can sometimes be recovered between the rocks. Here's what I found (the car was a beach eyeball find)

    Hey Digger.

    You probably already know but just in case... Zippo lighters have a lifetime guaranty. I know one hunter that has several lighters refurbished by Zippo for the cost of shipping.

    Food for thought.
    V3i and Eagle Spectrum.

    Oldest Coin 1813 Large Cent
    Favorite Coin 1907 Barber Quarter
