First off I am fairly new at this. I had a Aquavision Pro detector for a few years and ocasionaly would find a coin or so. Last week i bought a Garrett Sea Hunter and WOW what a difference.

So far this weekend 4day. Over a hundred coins, 3 rings, a VERY NICE silver chain and cross amongst other stuff.

I went ahead and ordered another Sea Hunter for my wife this morning.

Now that you are doing good in the water in Jax. I would watch the water on the East side of the water very good because Mary Lee Is coming your way. She should be there any Day now. Mary Lee is 3495 lbs. Great White Shark. I have been tracking Her and her sister Lydia for the pasted 4 months . Both was tagged in March in Jax. Harbor.( Lydia is about 1800 lbs.

Ok to finish off the 4 day weekend I have another 23 coins and a silver .925 earing to it. Over 150 coins, gold ring w/ruby, silver ring, 1ct. engagement ring(avon), silver neclace w/cross pendant and LOTS of junk trash. I can say that I never thought I would fing this much stuff. Guess the new hobby is off to a great start.

Going to try different shaft/mounting config on Excal, then we'll see :) It almost killed my arm today with stock shaft setup.
