Ok well it's just a copy from what I've researched, but hey it was literally the first thing I dug here at Vero Beach on vacation....hopefully it's a sign of things to come!
That would get the heart pumping at first glance. Makes you wonder if people intentionally plant these on the beach to fool us or do kids lose them after their parents buy them in the gift store?
I've gotten the same feeling in California's Gold Country looking at the bottom of a stream covered with flakes of fool's gold. I can imagine the thrill when the 49'ers saw that and it was gold! Better than the half day I spent finding one tiny nugget...
