Just checked into hotel thursday night to be ready for an awesome day
I do beach hunting and mostly found modern jewelry .
long time customer of kellyco and met several people there over the years.
I had 2 experiences searching in Peru for some spanish galleons. and 3 trips to mountains searching for jesuit treasure
and came back wiser but broker.
I met a few people through selling nautical antiques signal cannons on ebay.
and I told them I'm not a "card carrying treasure hunter"
but they said come on down.
thanks to michael and John for inviting me .
my wife unfortunately is on oxygen so she came with me but will not be able to join in he fun.
If there is a prize for the early bird hopefully I will get it. I also have some things to add the the aucion and look for a flipper race
I hope to detect a few beaches on friday and look forward to meeting some new people there.
see you in 2 days

Once again I will miss another cookout... and every year I say "next year"... so again "next year".
The Cookout looks like a really good gathering of good folks and a good time to boot.
I enjoy the great photos posted after the THC here so keep lots of them coming so those of us that cannot attend can be jealous.
Hope to make it some time ... I enjoy the company of fellow "scallywags". :P
Oh... and please... I am concerned...
Don't deplete the Rum in Florida.

I too regret missing this one. Recovering from very nasty pancreatitis & so wish I had the energy to attend.
Have a wonderful time, take lots of photos/videos, & I look forward to seeing all next year. I'll be thinking about you all day!

It was great time, I remember when it was less than 50 people. Tons of good food, if you left hungry it was by your choice. Lot of people attended and it was a great time. Even my parrot Lucky enjoyed it.

Absolutely a fantastic time and the weather was perfect. Storms never materialized and a slight breeze to help cool things down.

Hi folks....and thanks to all who came to the Cookout. John and I were a little busy but there were some folks that took pictures and shot video.
I will post some video tonight and pictures tomorrow or Thursday.
