Got My Infinium Back This Week - Now I need a Wet Suit

[DaChief]

Got my Infinium back this week. Hooked up my coils to it one by one and it is working fine again. Garrett did some updating to it.

I had broken the pin on the connector for my land headphones, (aftermarket phones with the Garrett connector), I put them in the box also when I sent the Infinium in but they didn't offer to fix them even for a price. They just said it wasn't their headphones. I didn't carry the conversation on that any further. I will convert those to a 1/4 inch plug for my other detectors and buy a new set of land phones. I can only find the land phones on the Garrett site. I am wondering how the guy I bought the Infinium from got the Garrett connector put on the Shadow phones it was water tight so whoever did it, did it right. I will use the water phones for now but those bad boys are loud with no volume control.

It's winter here in Central Florida now. Beach hunting is still comfortable with no issues but the surf up this way is too cold to stay in for any length of time so I am looking at wet suits. Santa may bring me one. I probably need one anyway because once I get in the water, I usually don't come out for hours.

I hope to hunt a little this weekend but not sure I will make it. I will post if I do!!

Thinking now about SCUBA for next year or a HOOKAH Rig. I think the Hookah would probably work fine since I have no desire to do deep water dives and would be mainly working swimming holes, docks and the like.

Never thought it would come to all this back in the late 80's when my old boss gave me that old BFO detector of his and got me hooked.

Glad to hear you got your machine back Chief. I'm shopping for a wetsuit myself. I'll probably pick one up in the next week or so.

Thanks Willie,

I have spoken to a long time surfer who advised me on some things. Full suit with mobility in the arms and legs,2 to 3 mils at most for here in Florida, more warmth in the body, 4 to 5 mils at most again for here in Florida, glued and stitched seams, boots, gloves and a hood for winter hunts.

I am having trouble finding a size. I am 5'10" 215 lbs. Most that will handle my weight are for taller folks. He said get the taller suit and I won't go wrong. I plan on trying on some at a dive shop here soon.

Good luck on yours!

You should do quite well at this time if year in Central Florida, especially if you work the sand and surf where others have hunted. Most of the junk should have been removed, so go and dig all the high-low signals and pull the small deep gold goodies left behind. I won't tell you how deep some of my gold was because nobody would believe me. But you will soon find out.......GO FOT IT!
