Holy Clad-fest Batman!

Hit the lane for the wee-hour low tide, 4 1/2 hours from about 11:30 to 4:00. Saw no other hunters. Man, was it ever rough! And some nice cuts forming by the time I was leaving too.

I had a pretty unreal clad count and had a bunch of deeper digs from the mid-60's too. Amazing to me that not ONE RING in all of that. Normally when I dig this much clad it's good for at least a few rings. :shrug:

The talley: A whopping 32 quarters, 17 dimes, 12 nickels, and 55 pennies. And a gaudy earring, a hair clip, and a not-gold bangle. Oh, and I brought along my humongous lockblade knife, in case I needed to carve me up some punk. You never know, right? That was a beach find from a couple of summers ago.

Yeah, the knife snaps open very impressively with a quick flick of the wrist too...sure to make any would-be aggressor think twice and walk the other way. At least that was the plan.

I've never really worried about it before, but after seeing the recent post from N5PIP about him getting jumped the other night I've been thinking that maybe I need a little something extra. I've been doing this for years with only minor issues from time to time...the occasional heckler or smack-talker...nothing serious. And I'm a big enough guy...a fit 185 to 190, and I think that, by and large, not too many drunks are a match for a sober guy. But if you get more than one of them that could be a problem. So today I went and got a nice 35-shot pepper spray device from the local Army-Navy store. I test fired it too...gets about a 10 to 15 foot stream. I figure if I'm put to the test, I'll douche 'em in the face real good and then while they're scrambling and rubbing their eyes and gasping for breath I'll be beating the shiznitt out of them with the long-handled steel scoop. :lol:
