It's the Day of Hermes aka Mercurius Day aka #Wednesday! 🐏
"Now when the dead have come to the place where each is led by his daimon i.e. [#Hermes], first they are judged and sentenced, as they have lived well and piously, or not. And those who are found to have lived neither well nor ill, go to the Acheron." #Plato, Phaedros 112e

"Let's see how much treasure we'll find buried in the sand!" #Hermes exclaimed excitedly, hovering over the sand. #Charon took the metal detector from his hands with a growl.
"As you wish, boss. Though if I'm too swift to detect anything, whose fault is that? Mine or the manufacturer's?" Charon pinched his cheek and slowly moved the device. As it turned out, there were many things one could find with a metal detector. And none of them were coins.
