hey LW, i figured you were hunting the swimming areas where most folks don't swim out over there head much. and i was trying to figure out what is the most practicle way to go about doing it, scuba just seems like it would be too cumbersome along with it's other limitations.

i used to colllect hundreds of sand dollars as a kid, snorkeling and using a raft or surfboard to hang onto and hold them all, ( though i usually gave them all away to the tourists when i came in ), it seemed to work quite well and i was thinking it may be the way to go doing shallow water MD hunting. of course a bouyant and secure finds bag would be required. more than a few times i'd be down picking a couple off the bottom only to have a wave send a shower of them off the side of the raft . now that i think about it, it probably would have looked pretty comical, me trying to catch as many of them as i could while swimming back up for air, i probably looked like the cat in the cartoons catching dinner plates .

Pat.

I tried scuba and detecting at the same time a couple times and "cumbersome" is an understatement!!

It may "look" easy, and it may actually be a little easier in warm waters in the south but, here in the cold waters with all the gear you must wear + the detector, and your scoop-- it's MORE than a pain in the you know what.

You can barely move with all the gear on, and then to have your hands full with the detector & scoop while trying to swim, detect, dig, etc. all while maintaining everything you need to do while scuba diving is NOT at all easy.

A hooka system would be easier allowing you to work faster & be more productive!

HH all, and thanks to everyone again,
