My wife hates this hat!

[John Madill]

Ergo, I love it! Found it at a Florida yard sale. What's not to like?!
Lightweight, breathable, nice sweatband inside, etc.

So many people ask me about beach finds when I'm detecting I thought I would adorn the hat with a few eclectic bangles.

 

[FelixtheCat]

I like the hat!

 

[TampaBayBrad]

You need to tack on a couple varieties of pull tabs and tent stakes.

 

[John Madill]

Yes, of course! Will paint them gold though....

 

[Cfmct]

The hat is butt ugly... throw it in the trash

 

[OBN]

I like the hat!

That's the kind of hat ... lighting is attracted too ..

 

[Ken Clad]

That's a great way to have a large chunk of beach all to yourself.... back that up with a Speedo and magic happens.

 

[John Madill]

A speedo?
Reminds me of a fellow who asked someone for advice on picking up girls at the beach.
He was told to get a tight swim suit and slip a big potato in it.

The man tried it but said it wasn't working, people were laughing at him.

Friend replied"put the potato in the FRONT!"

I still can't believe that I was knocked down by it last year.

Neither can we. I wonder if the beach you were on has a surfline cam. Those are recorded and can be rewound. Be great to actually see footage of you being lit up.

Great place for treble hooks, or just all hooks!

What's not to like. Your metal detecting version of the decorator crab.

Add a bright yellow fanny pack with matching crocs, and it goes well beyond magic!

Side note:

I do use a large fanny pack when hunting, and wear crocs for everyday use. Thing is though, neither is bright yellow. My fanny pack is black, and my crocs are dark green. Yes indeed, that's how cool I am!

 

[John Madill]

Crocs are my footwear of choice for the beach. I wear a two+pocket nail apron. Maybe I should tie-dye it?!

 

[LawrencetheMDer]

You would have to be a SERIOUS metal detectorist to wear that hat...but my biggest concern, if I were you, is never again having a romantic relationship with the (Ex) wife!
