Plane tickets for Puerto Rico and a New MD

[RobH]

Got both this past month and am heading for Puerto Rico around the first of March.
I hate, hate paying baggage fees, so I'm planning on taking down my ATP and packing it with carryon and laptop bag.
For that last reason won't get to bring my scoop, or digger- (I think- because of TSA, but not sure). Any ideas?
Find a Home Depot and buy a cheap garden trowel?

Right now the plan is to spend the 1st night in Old San Juan and fly out the next morning to Culebra and hit
Flamenco Beach for 2 days, then on to Vieques and Sun Bay Beach for a couple of days.

After that I am coming back to the mainland and plan on going into El Yunque, Toro Negro and maybe Camuy to do some fresh water detecting in the rivers.
Also heading to the West Coast toward the end of the trip and last 2 days at Isla Verde.

I'd like to look at some old Spanish-American War sites, but not sure about time.
If any one is there and can point me to some good spots for an afternoon or a meet up, please let me know.

You need a scoop that the handle is made to come off. There are several that do so.....

I would rather die standing on my two feet defending our Constitution than live a lifetime on my knees......

Yep, just can't bring all the stuff with me that I'd need due to weight restrictions on the small planes I'm flying.
Leaving this week to hit the beaches.
If anyone has any last minute admonitions on which ones to AVOID, I'd be grateful.

Also, a friend of mine that has done some MD down in Gulf Shores, AL area said that they regularly sift the sand
along the beaches "to remove debris" (like gold and silver maybe?) and he'd never had much luck finding good stuff.

Is that a practice in many states? Puerto Rico? V.I.s?
