A five-year-old girl screamed with joy when she dug up a custom-made treasure chest her parents had hidden on her first ever trip to the beach. In the weeks building up to her family's vacation to Gulfport, Mississippi, Lindsey Robinson's mind had been dreaming about what might be possible on her first trip to the beach. According to her mom, Amanda, 35, from Columbus, Mississippi, Lindsey had told her family she hoped to find lots of shells on the beach – as well as, perhaps, some treasure. Knowing the beach they were headed to was not known for its seashells, Amanda and her husband decided they would create a treasure chest to bury in the sand for Lindsey to find. Having arrived at the beach, Amanda then headed to a local shop, where she purchased shells to put into the handmade chest. Along with the shells, the couple added pennies, nickels and dimes, and then buried the chest on July 4 for their daughter to find.
