Headed to San Marcos and Comal on Thursday night to stay with my Uncle that is at Texas State... ;D Long Story myleo can fill you in if need be.

Anyway we are planning on doing some diving and free diving Friday afternoon and Saturday to scout some future locations and to do some jewelry, watch and sunglasses recovery. and what ever else can be seen with the eye.

I have a few spots that I used to frequent up there but does anyone have any other suggestions on some hunting? I am bringing my ACE for the shallow water spots so I guess time will tell.


I will be back Saturday so we don't miss the Sunday hunting.

Thanks for the info.

Hi Shaw,

If you guys are hunting locally Sunday and you don't mind a tag along drop me an e-mail. It looks like the morning (when it is cooler) is wide open.

Hi Shaw and Myelo,

Drop me an e-mail and I can give you my cell phone. As to the Garrett (#%&$# as I call it) it seems to have arrived with a malfunction called "operator error and the hard headed Irish factor". I did not ask for theses options but they came anyway. Short of a brain transplant the only cure seems to be a lot of practice followed by many adult beverages.

Well Mike, I only see one problem w/that solution...the drinks come first.

PM me your cell number...we found a place to hunt this weekend in Conroe. I got permission from Salvation Army for some property they own that had an old church and an old house on it.

San marcus is a Great place to snorkle I got a Hooka kit i put in My canoe,Ive found several arrowheads there. You probaly know but no detecting allowed on land in the city, not much shallow water for a land machine except across from the Lions club dock (concret canoe, inner tube launch whatever you call it).
Canyon lakes not far ands got some good sand beach swiming areas.
Been wanting to go all sumer but havent made it yet.

Didn't get to spend much time there on Saturday (CROWDED!) but I have lined out some areas that I am going to go back and hit. Dive gear is definitely not a must there and I could see some areas that should produce some great water finds.

Thanks as usual for the info guys -

That would be the ultimate setup for that area TC. It needs to be hunted on a Monday morning. Out of the 1000 people or so there were two of us with masks on. It was just way to crowded at the dam area and I hate wading through crowds.

The second dam was the really crowded one. The "bridge" with the rope swing must be where the hippies hang out.

There was a lot of guitar playing and a certain "smell" in the area. Most were to stoned to loose anything. ;D

Hey waltrip, I never thanked you for all of that information you sent me on the PM. I really appreciate all the great input.
