Just back from the gulf and had a great time! Not a lot of time for hunting, but did squeeze in an hour here and there. A couple of dollars in change and a thousand beer tops! 
Love to dig at the beach...sooooo easy! You peeps that live there are so lucky! I wanted so badly to get into the water, but didn't dare. The waves were pretty high this past week and I love my MXT. :P I gotta get me one of those water detectors soon! 
The kids loved the beach and Dillon thought the ocean was just a big bath tub!
I think we must have dragged every toy from the toy box to the beach! :P
I found a pirate ship right outside my balcony one morning!
Had to visit the amusement parks....
And the required visit to the putt-putt course where I always win!
NOT!
And have to put in a shameless plug for a couple of the best places to eat while in Gulf Shores...
And the Oyster House....worth the two hour wait...
GREAT music while you wait too! This guy was awesome!
Night time on the beach....
We always love to ride the ferry from Ft. Morgan to Dauphin Island.
Here's a couple of pictures of some of the many bunkers on Ft. Morgan...
And a link...

While we waited on the ferry, I met a lady that lives there. She had lots of stories to tell and we touched on the subject of metal detecting and the Civil War. She runs to her car and brings out a newspaper article where the day before a funeral service was conducted for a soldier off the CSS ship! Here's the article and a couple of links that were very informative.

Loved the ride across. Always get to see the dolphins at play, but not nearly fast enough to catch them with the camera!
And my finds...meager but had lots of fun!
I spent a few minutes this morning looking around at what you all have found over the past week...and WOW! You guys have been busy finding some fantastic stuff!
