The Metal Detector Works!

We have moved on north in Florida to the Gulf Coast of the Panhandle.  We went to a pretty white sand beach and Gary tried out his new-to-him metal detector again.  He didn't get more than about 10 feet from where we were sitting until I saw him down on his knees a digging.  He told me that the detector was reading that it was a coin and and not a bottle cap or pop top.  Sure enough he found his first ever coin with it.  And what was it?  Let's just say that at this rate we will only have to go to the beach 6,499 more times to pay off the $65 that he paid for it.  But he was thrilled just the same that he had actually found something.
