Croatia, June 2026 and beach bums

Every year, José goes on holiday to Croatia with his wife, and he always packs his metal detector. He’s been planning the holiday since the start of the year, and this time we – Pepan, Marťas and Jánošík – tagged along as a group that always goes out together. Searching in the sea was a first for the last three of us, but we didn’t have any trouble with it at all – though I’m getting ahead of myself. And José’s a great bloke too; he sorted out some special T-shirts for us to wear before we set off, for which he deserves a big thank you and a thumbs-up.
