Jumping back into the abyss...

[Ocaliman]

It has been some time since I have been doing any hunting, and am planning on getting back into it since I just purchased my first boat. I live in Central Florida and have had some pretty decent success water hunting around here. Just getting back into this poses some unique issues that I hope you guys can help me with. First, I need a detector. My last u/w machine was a Whites Surfmaster 2. I went to their site the other day, and it appears that they no longer make this machine. Mine is toast due to a bad O-ring which caused the machine to flood out . I am a firm believer in horse trading, and have recently ended up with more laptop computers than I really need. As such, I am looking for a good water machine to trade for a like new Sony Vaio Pentium 4 machine. I will forward some system specs as needed if anyone is interested. Secondly, I am looking for some dive buddies in the Central Florida area who are looking for someone to hit the area lakes with a 20' pontoon boat. Basically share the fuel and food/soda costs for the boat, and hit some of these lakes that are more readily accessable by boat as opposed to beach diving, private access to public water situations, etc. If any of this sounds like a plan, drop me a note in here or by email.

I have a very nice Garrett Sea Hunter with new charger. I bought it to see if I liked it better than my Fisher. I think they work exactly the same, I was just used to the Fisher and am going to keep that one.

Everything in this photo was found with the Garrett, so I think she has good luck attached to her too

Nice... Did you X ray them to see what was under the crust? Send me an email with the particulars about the Garrett. I may be looking for a machine that will allow me to do some land hunting as well, but this one may work.

I just purchased a Viper Trident From Kellyco For 229.00 It is the best one I have used Yet For land and water hunting
It s Drawback is it uses only one 9v battery But they only really last about 10 hours
Hope this helps
Good Hunting

I finally got a response from a Minelab dealer in Colorado who traded me a new Excalibur 1000 for my laptop. I appreciate the heads-up.

You will not go wrong with the MineLab Excalibur 1000 or the AquaPulse! my two favorates

The Excalibur 1000 is my weapon of choice also. Never dive without her!

Just got an aqua pulse
it does not go really deep 3inch tops(through sand)
and it is much smaller than I thought
but you guys like the minelabs no leaking problems?

I DEFINITELY got shafted! I just bought a Viper Trident from Kellyco on Monday, May 22, and it cost me $349.95!
