I Just Don't Understand it.

Went out hunting this morning at one of my favorite beaches. Low tide was at 7am, swells were at 1 to 2 feet, water was warm, sky was clear, no people around, perfect set up to do some water and wet sand hunting. As I was going along working the surf line shortly after sunrise, I look up and I see another hunter working the dry sand. whenever I see another hunter and I don't know them I always watch them for a short time to see their hunting technique and to see what machine they are using. So I see this guy under perfect water hunting conditions hunting the dry sand using an Excalibur II. Why in the world would spend $1700 on a machine taunted as the worlds greatest water detector and use it to hunt dry sand during low tide. Based on the way he was dressed, he had no intentions of getting wet either. And, to make things worse, as the day wore on I saw 2 other hunters doing the same thing. I just don't understand it.

Maybe they all knew about a lead in the dry (6 carat diamond or something) and couldn't figure out why you were in the wet!

Must be small beach! You could put a dozen hunters on Daytona or New Smyrna Beach and still not scratch the surface..
