Um... it wasnt the pop tops... it was the shredded slaw.... and the NAILS... and shrapnel from who knows what the hell.

I feel like i dug an entire dock.,,, complete with idiots trash.

Thing is... there was never a dock there....

You can tell that it had been detected by the holes everywhere to knee deep.

And they nulled out or tossed back anything that was not what they wanted.

I will tell you... if i see someone throwing back trash.... and especially the types i found... i would definitely exchange words.

When you see can slaw... IN WATER,... i think... hmmm how did a shredded can get there.... then i look... and i see clear sign of it being ripped by a scoop.

An i assure you... It wasnt my scoop.

Well my big plan got blown away with high winds. No way to make the kyak ride in 25kts. Worked in the wood shop instead.

Probably the best option Bart-seeing that you're getting long in the tooth.

You should come to the keys cap !! They should give me a gold key to the city for all the trash I haul off....I won't even talk about the 2000 scoop holes at a certain keys spot. Same thing....trash all over the bottom, ankle breaking holes every 2 feet with a pile of sand next to each hole to trip on !! Thats how this hobby get stopped.....some one will break a bone in this mess, and someone else will point out the destruction of the environment, and thats all folks !!

Anyway... just to save the suspense.... i was having all kinds of problems.... the day was a challenge.

Anyone else would have to abandon the detecting part of the day.

But i persevered ... and have nothing to post as far as finds.

I did teach though... and for me this was the treasure.

Met some nice people... and was recognized for some skills by other detectorists who really wanted to learn and i felt like i was teaching some class...

And some Northerners who now are newly addicted and shopping i am sure today for a detector heh

 

[ARC]

I do however have... NOT due to me... but thanks to my daughter and better half... a picture or two of me out there.

Although i have not seen them yet.

This is the screw up part... heh

 

[ARC]

I have to tend to some things... like my fur babies... also... have to clean up before guests arrive again.
I will posts in between breaks.

I managed to get the Garret and X2 going though after 45 minutes of farting around... i hate that crap

First mistake...

NEVER ever try and make a smaller toolbox prior to leaving within minutes.

Should have just taken it.

My Minelab rechargeable are pretty well pooched now. Don't hold a charge well
I hate the 8 AA option choice
I guess it's better than the 14 AA's the White's needed in the way back machines.

Good luck there ARC

No Allen key for batt pack ... no tape... no zips... wire flopping and farting with over an over

Sheesh i did not even have a Leatherman tool at my disposal.

I had to use my shirt and my son in laws fingertips... which are sore now... to remove the screws to even use it.

Go pro left sitting on counter.... AS WE ARE at beach.

There are many factors that contributed though....

Like the copious amounts of alcohol we all consumed the night before... the trip almost never happened....

SO...

Today.... attempt 2.
