A lot of times before a nice discovery you'll be told there is nothing there.

Yesterday I showed a photo of one Aquasound metal detector and said I have two more Aquasound metal detectors that were a little different. I used them a lot, and they were good.

As I mentioned the other day, we recently lost a member of the family, and I've we've been attending to things that need to be done. For me, among other things, that includes preparing a eulogy. How do you sum up a person's life?
Going through a person's belongings can tell you a lot about that person. The person I'm talking about liked clocks, weather and music. He left behind a bunch of clocks. I noticed one advertising clock on the wall that read something like Frehler's - Fresh Coffee Brewed Daily. I don't remember the name of the establishment for sure, but it was something like Frehler's even if it might not be exact.
He also had thermometers, barometers and other meteorological equipment everywhere I looked, and also his musical instruments and electronics. As they say, you can't take it with you.
The clock on the wall is still ticking, and the anemometer in the yard is still spinning, but somehow they seemed to have lost their life. They are hollow remnants of a life that left them behind.
So what does that have to do with metal detecting? If you have found things that you like, you might have kept them. They help you remember events and maybe they tell a story. The value of the finds you keep might be worth more to you than dollars and cents. You give them life by learning about them. They might represent a time in history. Someone else once used them, and maybe cherished them too.
By studying finds, you can add value to them - both economically and otherwise. They become more meaningful as they are studied.
You will probably not own your finds forever. Someone else once owned them, and someone else might own them in the future.
When I sell a find I hope that by doing so I am finding them a good new home. I hope they are bought by someone who will appreciate them and perhaps also pass them on again someday.

It looks like the Treasure Coast will have several days of one-foot or less surf.
Thanks much for the sympathies and condolences.
