I just returned from a couple of days in South Florida where I had a good bit of luck finding some rings, coins and bling. I'll post pics of the finds when I figure out how to get macro on my iphone. But I have a couple of questions that I thought I might be able to get some answers from here. I was in waist deep water and found myself suddenly in a school of panicked fish.....never a good sign. I was backing out of the water when I noticed a approximately 2 ft. nurse shark (I think), circling and repeatedly bumping into my coil. He wasn't the least bit interested in me, but my question is.....are sharks attracted to the radio frequencies of the coil? This one sure seemed to be!
My other question is in regards to the laws of detecting in the water in South Florida. I always thought it was a not allowed, but there sure were a group of metal detectors out there. I thought that the state of Florida only allowed water detecting with the purchase of an lease or license for a defined area. I actually did not go in the water until I realized that I was the only one staying on the sand. So I thought I might as well join them! Just was hoping that I could get some clarity from the group here.
Thanks! I look forward to the responses!
