Detectorist

We sat for some time on the beach this afternoon which was busy on a warm, sunny Sunday. There was the usual activity: beach volleyballers; sedentary sunbathers; folks coming in and out of the water with paddle boards and surfboards; swimmers drying off, when along came a lone detectorist.  He was oblivious to anyone and anything around him as he circumnavigated the groups of sunbathers, intent on his gently swaying detecting machine, occasionally digging in the sand.  It made me think very fondly of Andy and Lance.
