Water detectorists in the Portland/Vancouver area?

[jtlee321]

Hey everyone. I have been metal detecting for several years now. I have been strictly land based detecting. I have just bought a Minelab Excalibur II and was wondering how many other water detectorists there are in the Portland/Vancouver area? Any info or advice you have?

Thanks.

Thanks for the responses guys. I know the rivers are up a lot right now. That is why my focus is on the lakes for now. I will be going up to Hood Canal on the 21st and 22nd to take my Open Water certification. After that I will be able to rent gear and get tanks filled. I just need to find a buddy to do some diving with. I think I am going to bring my Excal with me on the open water certification. We are supposed to be staying at a diving resort. Although it is not a resort in the way you guys along the Atlantic coast and Hawaii may think of. It is very popular for SCUBA divers and has been around since the early 50's. I can't wait to hit the rivers and lakes though..
