When my daughter-in-law took this picture earlier today I was near the end of a 3 hour hunt. The blue shirt is a cool shirt designed to evaporate perspiration quickly and help the wearer stay cooler while protecting the skin from the sun.

The hunt yielded 4-small fishing sinkers, several nails and pieces of aluminum snap tops and bottle tops, 2 quarters, two nickles and 4 pennies along with a couple of silver dimes. I saw many of my neighbors and a few of my family on the beach and my son's, sons saw Grampa using his big yellow Dual Field for the first time!
I explained metal detecting to a dozen or so children and an equal number of adults and I must tell you Friends, this has been one of my most memorable birthdays ever!
I look forward to another hunt tomorrow, weather permitting, to find a dental bridge one of the new friends I made today asked me to find.
He showed me the place to look, but by then the tide was too high to hunt.
Wish me luck,
CJ
