Debbie Bahu | 3 comments OK, not much to go on:
Short story - a man is searching a beach for black discs!
Sorry I don't have more than that to go on...

Thank you if anyone can direct me to a title.

Serendi Just yesterday I hit something that reminded me somewhat of A Saucer of Loneliness, and now this does. Did you read my other post? ;-!

Amy Adams (amyoadams) | 8 comments I encountered someone else recently searching for a short story about a man searching a beach for black discs. While I do not yet know what the short story is, the searcher gave me a few more pieces of information:
-The man searches the beach with his wife
-He finds one black disc, polishes it, and has it appraised for a high value
-His grandfather once told him a story about how pirates always put more than one treasure in the same location
-This leads him to continue searching the beach for more black discs

Is this solved? Was it a story in The Saucer of Loneliness?


message 6: by Serendi (new)

Serendi Saucer of loneliness is a short story, not a collection. Amy's description definitely isn't it. Oh well....

Debbie, are you still looking for this or did you find it?


message 8: by Debbie (new)

Debbie Bahu | 3 comments Well, I am still interested in finding the title - just figured it was a lost cause!

Nope, we have new people joining the group all the time and you never know, one of them may recognize your book.
