Finally got to get in the water - first time this year
also first time I got to use my new mask under hunt conditions - only saw the pool before today

was heading back to where I started and got a loud blast - thought I had a corona cap on top - ended up being a fat 14k band (will post pic of it later)
my gal just happened to be taking this pick and that is when I got the ring because I got nothing 10 mins before or 10 mins after this pic and she said I was directly in front of her -
told her had I known she was taking a pic - I would have held it up before dropping it in my pouch

the mask worked great - a little spit kept it from fogging - headphones fit fine
your breathe actually keeps your face warm - under my chin only area that got cold

Mask looks interesting, I remember seeing a video about it. How well does your scoop work in the surf?

Oh I know, I just wanted to see how well others use it. I tend to have trouble recovering targets.

on dry sand and wet - buy new Garrett water proof pinpointer - when you do your first scoop - stick it in hole and should help recovery a lot faster
in water I tell people to get a big basket scoop and use a mask or goggles - so you can see where to scoop

I have the Garrett Pro Pointer AT just haven't used it in the sand yet, didn't occur to me. I am planning to buy a big scoop for surf so I can have the RTG scoop for dry sand and a big scoop for wet. Sorry for hi-jacking your thread.

So I take it the mask worked well? Any downsides?

last year - an old woman thought I was a seal - she kept yelling to everyone - "look at the seal..there's a seal!"
today a woman was screaming at me - I looked up and she was waving - I looked behind me thinking there was a boat or something - she just wanted me to pick my head up so her husband could get a pic - probably to show friends and say "look at the fool in the cold water"

I would love to see peoples reactions when they see you!! :thumbsup:

yep ur on her facebook, may be a downside of the mask, we draw enough attention as it is, now we look like astronauts haha

I dream of my beaches having mellow water like that. Constant 4 ft'ers smacking you in the face doesn't make for much fun. And if I get far enough out to get past the waves I wont be able to touch the bottom...
