Got up from the easy chair late this morning and when I passed the mirror, OMG, I thought I saw Mr. Potato so I decided to go detecting. As I left the house I heard the recliner say , "don't hurry back, I need a rest."
Not many targets inthe water and not many bathers either but I got an interesting signal about chest deep and it turned out to be a nice ladies 2.8gr. 14kt gold diamond ring that was 15 to 18 inches deep. That sure livened up my day.

My easy chair and I have become one! I rarely leave mine either. I tell myself why bother.... no one is getting in the water anyway. You just proved me wrong! WTG :icon_thumleft:

Legal on Fl west coast except federal parks and some state parks. All the public beaches I know of are all legal.
