Hunt for Rhody-specific buried treasure .
Shuck into a quahog pearl . You ’ ll need to plow through more than a half-bushel to find one of these beauts . Good thing they ’ re tasty .
Break out the metal detector , by beach or by berry farm . Wedding rings , necklaces , gold coins from pirate money laundering schemes : Who knows what you ’ ll find with a wave of the wand ?
Search for sea glass . Warwick ’ s Conimicut Point is a top spot for iridescent , waveworn glass .
Dig around for cumberlandite fragments . The official state rock — often mistaken for meteorite — is contained on just four acres on Elder Ballou Meeting House Road in Cumberland .
Take flight on Roger Williams Park Zoo ’ s zip line .
Soak up the sights as you zip 115 feet above the pond at Roger Williams Park Zoo ’ s Soaring Eagle Zip Ride . Peek at parts of Providence and toward Narragansett Bay alongside an adventurous buddy . rwpzoo . org
Score a spot at the free two-hour lot by Salty Brine .
You ’ ll circle the Galilee loop ad infinitum — that ’ s a given . Gull guano is too and , yes , it ’ ll probably drip just out of reach of your windshield wiper . Still worth it for gloriously free parking by the beach . Salty Brine State Beach , Galilee
