If you have equipment for sale bring it along and we'll have a mini flea market.... The next and last post around June 25th will be a reminder, any changes or additions and the number of people attending.

WHAT is it? Huh



Update #2
Because of the pm's that I have received I feel it's necessary to clarify some details about the get together so that no one is mislead or disappointed. This get together is not a organized function by a club or group. I thought because of the posts that I have read on several of the different boards and in speaking with other md'ers that it would be fun to get together and share information and socialize. i decided to reserve a pavilion because of June's afternoon showers and provide hot dogs for lunch. I am hoping that those that attend will enjoy the camaraderie and perhaps pick up a tip or two.I am taking the responsibility for organizing the get together,but the success will depend on those that attend.Don't forget the theme Md'ers helping Md'ers.


Below is a map to help locate Coquina beach
The main entrance is labeled as Stand #5,which leads to the Patio Cafe concession ,which is the 1/2 way point of Coquina beach,the pavilion area is located at the very south end on the Gulf side by the RV parking area , you may enter at Stand #5 or #6,follow the RV parking signs.




Update #1
Pavilion has been reserved for Saturday June 28th..will post a few pics & directions by the end of next week


This post is to see if there is enough interest among the beach and water hunters to have a little get together.

Re: Florida Beach and Surf get together Update #2

Hey RDI,seems like a good thing to do.It doesn't always have to be
a sponsered event,though it wouldn't hurt if any local or nearby
clubs came.The theme is good-share ideas,stories,techiques,etc.,and
just have a good time with other MDers.If I lived a little closer I'd
like to come.Hope it all comes off well.Wishing you well on this idea.
Good luck and HH Joe

Re: Florida Beach and Surf get together Update #2

Would love to come, hope to see you there.
 

Just got on, and saw this. I am down in Sarasota, we'll be there hopefully. I dont have any finds to show, I just sold all last years rings-high price on gold and I needed to get an outboard motor fixed. So thats me- Steve and my fiance Lynn-she is a fairly new(3 years) metal detector too, mainly at the Treasure Coast on the beaches and underwater diving. I just glanced at the first post, and will look again, but do I need to bring anything? Is this a share food and drink, potluck, or do we fend for ourselves? Or pay for the food. Steve.
 

OK, I read it and will bring a covered dish-maybe a big huge bowl of homemade coleslaw. And plates and drinks. Should we bring our metal detectors? We'll see you there, Steve.
 

Another question, are we the only other ones showing up? Have you got PMs, saying people are coming? Is it still happening? PM me. Steve.
