Here they are and I know all have worked:
Metal detect in the surf for gold rings(my wife and I did extremely well), Good detectors are not cheap. I would start with a Minelab detector, check out Kellyco
LOL. I own 7 detectors. My first was a cheapo from a local flea market for $40. Bounty Hunter Quick Draw II. I moved up from there and bought my Garrett AT Pro from Kellyco Sept. 2014. I found my first Silver 925 Ring in Sharks Cove up Pupukea way, waist deep water. I now also own a Tesoro Compadre (one of my favorites next to the AT Pro), Garrett Infinium LS, Makro Racer, Minelab Sovereign GT. Looking to get an Excalibur II next after I get my Scuba Cert. Then graduate to the CTX 3030.
Mangoes? We have huge mango trees in the back yard of the house up Pupukea way along with Papaya, Banana, Avacado, Coconut, etc. We have over an acre up the hill. My uncle also has a setup downtown Honolulu at the farmers market every Thursday. The place is like Rodeo Drive where we set up our stand. Ruths Chris Steakhouse, Armani Exchange, Fendi, Hermes, Cartier, PF Changs, Hard Rock Honolulu, Salvatore Ferragamo, Louis Vuitton...you get the picture....tourists with deep pockets and fat bank accounts walking the streets till the wee hours of the morning. $500-1000 on a Thursday selling the fresh island grown produce, easy, every Thursday.
We won't touch the Aloha Bowl Flea Market which is held every Wed and Sat because all of the people that buy produce from us set up stands at that Flea Market. We don't want to have our own customers lose business because of us...
Once we get the Virgin Coconut Oil going, my uncle already has contracts with Costco, ABC Stores, Don Quixote's, for fresh produce and we're looking to expand from there. I'll keep you informed.
