Amanda continued using her telekinesis to dig the object out of the sand. Hunks of sand flew everywhere; she thought she was alone, so she didn't care where the sand ended up. It was because of this that she accidentally hurled a huge scoop of sand right at the merman behind her. It wasn't until she heard his reaction that she realized what she had done.
She turned, her eyes going wide at the unexpected sight of the merman. She'd never actually met one before, despite all of her time scavenging along the shore. Smacking him in the face with a handful of sand wasn't exactly the first impression she would have hoped to make.
"Sorry!" she said, waving at him to get his attention. "I didn't realize you were there."
She glanced back at the half-uncovered object in the sand. It turned out it was a large decorative shield of polished silver. It had likely hung on the wall of a ship that was lost to the seas. It was covered in sand and grime, but with a good polish, she was sure she could get a nice price for it.
