I was with a buddy of mine one day on Coronado island walking on the sidewalk next to the beach when we saw what looked like a film crew going down the stairs to the beach area. We were pretty buzzed at this point in the afternoon (I on alcohol and he on some kind of devil's harvest!) and my buddy is an aspiring director so he naturally got excited and was like "Whaaaaat, I think that's a film crew...let's go check this out".Suddenly we are two men on a mission, heading toward a possible learning experience for my friend, a chance for him to see how the big boys make a film. Our pace quickens and he's got the look of adventure on his face that only a small child has when playing a game of "make believe". Once we reach the opening of the stairs and peer down into the beach to see this amazing sight suddenly our smiles turn to confusion and we realize it's just a group of old folks scouring the beach with metal detectors looking for loose change, arrowheads, maybe some treasure.
Needless to say my friend was disappointed, I remember him saying something like "whaaaat, oh man they're just doing that? Come on...well let's go eat". Like I said, we were buzzin man! (or woman!) We got some nice sized burgers and got attacked by hungry birds at the beach bar but it's all good, I wonder what those treasure hunters found?
