Wait a minute....Who you callin old ?? I'm in my prime....we'll at least thats what I keep telling myself

 

[Dig]

I find a smile goes a long way....I get about 3 people a trip and I always stop and answer questions,which are always..."whats the best thing you've found?", "What are you looking for?" and "Can you help me find my keys.." . I don't mind so much. I guess because I am new, I still like the sense of fun that comes over me to actually get to share a little of how excited I am about what we do. I Love the idea of finding something that would have been lost forever (maybe) and I find if you take a few minutes and smile (esp to the kids..their the next batch of us cleaning up the beach) people listen and go about their biz.

The more positive we are to the people we meet the more we will be accepted as a good hobbie and not a hole digging junk finding (and leaving around) history stealing peice of X@#$@ but a fun, history learning, fun for all kids both big and small , outdoors type activity

A lovely lass is the first thing on any pirate's mind (after treasure of course). All us Surf Pirates be Naturally Attractive, Lads and Lasses! All of us improve in our looks after a coupla mugs a rum. too!

They are undoubtedly back in Germany missing me terribly and crying about the "American Treasure Hunter-Saucy Pirate Wench" (YOUR words, BDA) that got away!!!

Seriously, they were just two very friendly guys who were, I am sure, NOT attracted to ME, but to what an interesting hobby I have. (That and my adorable personality! ) The hunky beefcake of a guy in the blue speedo who chatted me up the most (30-40 minutes - My personal "beach chat record!") was actually there with his wife who stayed away and couldn't care less. The leaner guy was his younger brother who was awaiting his girlfriend.

I got the idea to ask them to pose as my "male diggers" (I figured, HEY, if VA BCH Max can pose with diggers, then SO CAN I) when my hunting partner at the time appeared out of nowhere to "check to see if everything was okay." NOT WANTING to be "saved" from them (thank you very much!), I handed him a camera and put him to work. (Huh... Not a word between hunting buddies for 3-4 hours, but I hook up with some sexy guys ONE TIME and all of a sudden I need help? NOTE to future potential hunting partners: If you see me talking to a toothless axe-wielding murderer, PLEASE come and "see if I'm okay" OR call 911! BUT if I'm talking to a hottie who looks like a cover model for Muscle & Fitness Magazine, just keep on detecting!)

Thanks, BDA, for helping me illustrate the point that I was trying to make earlier. South Florida beaches are filled with attractive young women who are half my age and half my size, each one wearing half a bathing suit. If I hadn't been happily searching for treasure that day, this "Saucy Pirate Wench" would have just been another face in the crowd to those two guys. Yet another example of how our hobby brings people and different cultures together.

HH!

Yeah, I get attacked by children ALL THE TIME! Granted it is awesome answering questions and handing em the quarter I found while they were oggling, but the 3-4 years olds I get make me want to take my Fallopian tubes and burn them at both ends. Repeating the same question and trying to step on my coil... bad idea kiddo.

Damn Stacey, you reel in the hunky hunks! I have an anti-hunk energy field surrounding me.... about 5 foot radius. Yah. Sometimes, I think that they can be worse than children.

Darlin', not all the boys are into walking skeletons with a couple of napkins to cover what passes for a body. The wife was hanging off to the side so she could keep an eye on her husband. You're the Bomb, Stacey! Now if Mike will remember to get your new Excal back to you, you'll be showing us piles of loot real soon.

Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder,

Stacey...that tops them all. Good on you! Really enjoyed your twist on things and bringing all the guys back to reality. I'd like to hunt with you sometime. No! I am not hitting on you! LOL

The next meeting will be on July10 (we always meet on the second Thursday of the month at 7:30 p.m. at the Garden Club in Dreher Park, across from the South Florida Science Museum in West Palm Beach). That night I'll be serving as "acting president" since our president will be out of town (I'm the VP), but we can chat during the break. I will be out of town for the two weeks prior, so I'm sorry to say we can't hunt before then. I'm leaving EARLY Wednesday morning for Va. Bch, VA to visit my brother, a.k.a. "Mike in Virginia Beach" and I'm trying to get things cleared up before I leave town. If you can, come to our meeting and maybe we can set up a time to hunt together.

In the meantime, keep checking the forums. Hopefully I'll have a good report for everyone next weekend about hunting the Virginia Beach Oceanfront!

Thanks for the kind words!

HH!

Dang!! Stacey, I just came through West Palm Beach last week on a Thursday on the way back from the Bahamas. Connections were nasty and I was running on the short end of sleep, but I would have found the meeting. I'd come to next one except I live in Washington State and I hope there is a club closer.
