I'll be in western Florida in 23 days. We have a nice place on the beach in Sanibel Island.

Which detector would you take?
E-Trac (stock) or Sovereign XS with meter and S-12 coil

I can't take both, need room for a fishing rod.

Ditch rod :)

Go to yard sale when you get here and buy a fishing pole for 5 bucks.

Get a hard side travel golf case. You can put both detectors and a fishing pole in it..... Mine holds 2 Minelab Excaliburs with 15 inch coils and my scoop and handle when I dismantle the handle..

No need for the hard shell shell... I'm driving down. It's only 17 hours or so to Tampa, then another 3 to Sanibel (the next day).

Really? Saltwater fly rods for $5?

enjoy the beach. I've got a place over in Cape Coral but haven't been able to get there all winter, i'm sick of the snow and now my boating season starts up here in the next few weeks. The customers are starting to uncover their boats. Stop in at the Great White Grill and tell my cousin Terri I will be down at some point. good luck with the hunt
