Long Island Legion Death March

What happens when six people go looking for these glass and metal balls? Dehydration, heat stroke and unbelievable leg cramps. We hiked around six miles on mostly rock, very little sand, on the Atlantic side looking for these elusive balls.
We started around 9 AM, ended at nearly 5 PM. The most grueling part of the hike was scaling a rocky cliff, then cutting through the bush, which included poison wood and sea grapes. The brush was over our heads and extremely thick.
Only one glass ball was found, numerous metal ones. The majority of the metal ones were left behind, once the fatigue set in, no strength left to carry them.
