pirates treasure

[John 'n' W.Va]

I got skunked today. After 4 hours, dehydrated, I realized bikers don't go on the beach. I also noticed the foot prints of another detector that recently visited the area. I got there before sunrise and parked in one of the few free parking places on the beach. I picked up 4 bolts along the way, but with closer investigation I found out they were Peep- holes for doors. The chain with the skull said Italy 925. It reads nickel on the 250, so it can't be sterling. The cigarette is made of metal. At 2 o-clock next to the skull is a bead. I couldn't get the pp to work on it. Later on found out it is magnetic. Would that affect the pp?
When I got back to the car there was a parking attendant. He wanted $10 for parking. I laughed at him and said, "when did they start charging for parking." I told him I was here before sunrise. He knew I was a local. He laugh and said,"it is Biketoberfest." He was glad to let me go so he could get some paying customers. It was chaos. What would take me 10 minutes took me 1 hour to get out of town. I could only take pictures in areas that wasn't busy. It cost $10 to park in the busy area. Hey Bill, is that your brother in law by the Harley shop?

Great pictures from Biketoberfest, John. And it looks like you had a pretty good day, in spite of all the confusion.

Yea, I had a great day. I got really tired. I dig everything on the beach. I throw away all the trash at every trash can.

...."Arrrgh Matey, if that is what you call skunked, then I would love to see an 'orrid day. Arrrrgh."

Them's some good gleanings, John. Id say the skull is plated if it read nickle, or there may have been some other trash nearby that was messing with the reading.

Altogether, a nice haul and you DID learn one more thing to add to your detecting "bag of tricks":

Bikers... they arent there to sunbathe or swim.

However, somewhere there is a dirt lot or campingspot where they DO congregate, get drunk and/or fall down a lot. I dont suppose they have changed much from when I rode a Harley, so find it!

And you may be right; I think that IS Bills idiot BIL.

A lot of the bikers camp at the fairgrounds 10 miles from my house. Some of them camp at the Cabbage patch where they have the women's coleslaw wrestling. Big event! Tops are optional.

...hustle on over to the Cabbagepatch and get some more pics, John me boy!

 

[Uncle Willy]

Nah his gut ain't big enough. You should have set up a stand and sold beer. You'd have made a fortune. You didn't happen to see Jay Leno there did you. He hits a lot of these biker gigs. My brother-in-law runs into him every once in awhile.

That looks like a great celebration, with all those bikes. There must be more goodies there from all those pirate bikers.
