I'm mostly a relic hunter, but I also hunt the beach quite often. weekend before last I was hunting a pretty good washout near one of the local piers and my machine started to act up. I use a '90 model nautilus dmc1. Granted, not the best beach machine, but it works. up until now! Anyways, I sent it of friday to be fixed.So if any of you guys are in the Atlantic Beach/ Emerald Isle N.C. area, and see a man using one of these machines, I'ts just me! :laughing7: detector 006.jpg detector 001.jpg detector 002.jpg detector 003.jpg detector 004.jpg detector 005.jpg By the way, they both still work!

Thanks man,Honestly I don't want to hit the beach, or any other place with one of these old guys! Sad part is they still work fine! My old nautilus Isn't much better, but they are supposed to change the shaft to a newer "s" style. Anyways you've got to do what you've got to do to stay in the game! :laughing7: By the way, I've been kinda kicking around the idea of getting a machine strictly for use on the beach. Any suggestions would be great!
