Im sure its still there,i havent been to a clean up there since that story,i should go back,im sure theres alot more loot on the bottom by now,they just had a clean up at cape canaveral beach but i think it was just for disney workers,i would have loved to go for that,since its a federal park no detecting is allowed,i did go once with my detector when i first moved here,i found so much stuff that my pockets were full an had to go back to my car about 10 times to empty them,then a ranger showed up an asked me what i was doing on the beach with the md,i told him that my wife had lost her $20,000 rolex that i gave her for her birthday.(im not married)i guess he didnt believe me an told me to put the md away an that i could sift the sand all i wanted with my scoop,i put the md away an sifted till i saw him drive away,then i left after that.recently a friend wanted to md there,but he had been busted several times,got $500 fines an his md taken away 3 times,i told him to go buy one of those cloth coolers at walmart with the plastic liner an a six pack of gator aid in plastic bottles.i took apart his whites md put the coil in the bottom of the cooler,a towel on top of it an the gatoraid on top of that,the control box goes in a side pocket i removed his speaker an hooked up a vibrater that came out of a pager an ran the wire up to the cloth carry handle.it works great an is very stealthy,when ever he saw the rangers on the 4 wheelers he would sit down open up the cooler an take a drink when they got out of site hed go back to work,just make sure the carry handle is long enough so the cooler just skims the ground when carrying it,when you get a hit,kneel down an fake like you are digging up shells.it does work,he hasnt been caught yet.
