Beachhunter300 Got the salt water test today

[FloridaBill]

My son has a friend that owns a 3 million dollar condo on the Gulf & Naples Beach. He got me permission to park at his place and this gave me private access to the beach. There are several tall condos in the area so I was pumped as I know there are a lot of Europeans there along with huge money .

It was the first real test for the 300. It worked great never missed a beat and it does go deep. I spent a straight eight hours in the water and walked over two miles and didn't find anything but junk.

I am not sure if it is because the beaches are sanded in or not. It appeared that this area was. There is not a ton of people on these beaches but enough and it doesn't appear to have been hunted and if it was not hard. I have been there twice and same thing Nada.

Can't understand it maybe there just isn't enough people to lose the stuff. I guess I will let it rest until next spring.

It was a great day though calm water , and I had a manatee (huge) almost bump into me, and headed for two girls and to say they screamed when it came out of the water next to them would have been a under statement lol...

Now if I could just find that bottom place I might find something in the water huh?

I am not sure what that is it appears to be old although the area isn't so maybe it was passed down to someone. Looks like it may have had a back of some sort on it. Gave off a very strong signal at about 16" in chest deep water....

Nice start with the new machine (yes it does go DEEP)!!!

I bet that beach would give up old gold after a good storm!



Thanks!

Same experience here - My sons and I stayed at a friend's time-share on Marco Island in May. Beautiful place and we thought we would do great with all three of us out hunting for three days[size=11pt]. We found so little and were really surprised since we didn't see anyone else out with their detectors. We even went over around the pier on Naples beach and did worse - don't think we fund $1.00 (new coins) between us. But we had fun and loved being able to go. [/size]

Glad that new machine has worked out for you.

the pendant is silver and I would say Brighton, maybe James Avery, but the design looks to be Brighton to me. I had a slight addiction to brigthon jewlery and handbags at one time, but I wasn't crazy enought to buy the real ones at $300+ a bag when I could get the look alikes for under $50. Thank god I grew out of that addiction and now am addicted to md.....at $600-800 a detector. lol
