I recorded a video of an old man talking with Salvor6 about stolen Bahama gold hidden in cocaine! Don't know who he was and I was pretty drunk by then. Can't get it to load. File too big.

Huh....looks like everyone is getting it !!

Was he a real little white haired guy with a gold escudos on ? 5foot 4 or so ?

Yeah, no escudo though. I tried to take a screen shot. I'll edit the video when I get back home.

Big winds and a storm here in Palm Bay and over on the coast. Should cut the beach and create some new hunting spots. I need to fix my Whites Eagle Spectrum... One of the battery pins broke off. Tried to rig it, but might send it to whites to fix.... I have a small whites that uses AA but it doesn't give a reading and a dig everything option which is not a bad idea for the beach. Need to get out before they 'renourish' the beach again. Lots of good shells in front of the museum in Sebastian. Lots of things wash up there, big conchs and the pink barnacles...

White's detectors is no longer a company as of 2020.
Garrett bought the rights it seems. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-rel...hite's, who had been in,a memo to its dealers

Wind is dying down and sun coming out. Low tide at 10 or so. We're heading out.

Mornin all.

Sweatshirt and rain weather here.

G.C.P.: Thanks for the pictures!
You need pirate boots before you trip over those laces. (Good to have some cordage on hand though..)

A French Pirate near an English pirate in one pic. Must be a truce going on. Or conspiracy!

Morning, morning! It’s still morning!

Although, I’m ready to fix lunch.

I’m thinking 🤔

Yes, yes. Chilly outside. Rain this afternoon. Stay in and catch up on housework, I guess. 😵‍💫

My lovely wife and Capt. Dan's macaw Turq!View attachment 2081214

Your wife is a beautiful lady. And brave, too. I don’t like birds. My mother-in-law watched a parrot for a friend once. Dang thing wouldn’t leave me alone and it pooped all over me!

Why didn’t you two wear pirate garb? Is it optional? Or is there only certain people supposed to be wearing it? Might be a deal breaker if we can’t wear pirate clothing.
