Good luck! Looking forward to reading your report. I also just got a Nox 600, have it charged and will assemble and air test it today for a local beach hunt tomorrow.

Arggh - there will be no report from me today about beach hunting with the nox 600. I knew the tide would be high but underestimated the wind. When from the NE, the water really piles up on these small beaches on the western shore of Chesapeake Bay. The water was up into the woods/brush, so no go.

Hope you got out on the ocean side, eastern shore, or a larger beach like Sandy Point (early morning hunting only).

Im heading out to the ocean tomorrow morning be out there till monday.not much planed except eating some drinks and metal detecting.I was wondering if you could md at sandy point.

Sandy Point is from 7am-9am only. With such a tiny window I don't bother with it.

Yup, I wouldn't want to hunt beyond 0900 anyway with the crowds and heat. I just wish we could start earlier than 7.

At least I got something accomplished - picked up more 6' fencing to protect my apple trees from the deer. When I got back from checking the beach this morning, I discovered they have already eaten about 60% of my apples. I tried to reason with one yesterday, offering him all the pears he can reach, but there is no reasoning with a deer. I believe his foot stomping means he'll take those too when they are ripe. I had to get 3-4' away and stomp my own feet before he reluctantly ambled off, smirking that he would return. The battle of wits has begun and to quote John Paul Jones "I have not yet begun to fight".

Hope you find gold and diamonds!

I won't be going out tomorrow. I LOST MY DEUS! LEFT IT IN NEW YORK! However it is found and should be back by the weekend. Sandy Point 7-9 am only is ok, but I don't really need to get up at 4:30 to get there by 7 to get more change...and sinkers. Good stuff there is much harder to get and it's been a couple years or more since I got anything really really nice.

There's always gong to be more trash dropped than treasure. Grats on a successful outing and good luck next time out.

O'boy, another Maryland Pirate! I heard there were 12 hunters at Sandy Point this past Monday for a 2 hour window.
Would have been 13 but ..

 

[smokeythecat]

OBN, but I was getting over my trip from NY and left the machine up there. Otherwise it would have been 14. I wonder how many were in the water?

 

[mjb Mike]

I usually bounce back and forth from just above the water line to a few feet deep in the water. Ill be back out Ocean city for a week in july if any of you maryland hunters want to meet up.I didnt hit any of the main beaches just some heavily use smaller beach that arent sweeped every night
