Warning.
If you’re planning a fun filled vacation metal detecting in sunny Florida beware; Most Florida beaches are closed because of Corona virus. :sad1::sad1::sad1:
You might get away with metal detecting in the water if you keep a low profile and attach a large dorsal fin to your back. Check on beach availability. ...Not sure what I'm going to do here in Florida w/o MDing??? I'm starting to feel sick now.
Be safe out there.

I agree. I’m having a withdrawal. It’s going to be tough but we as a nation will make it. We always have! Stay healthy and be patient. This will pass.

After seeing the spring breakers act like fools, it's about time they closed them. And the bars.

Tried to get down to Naples before closures happened but only had 3 hours as the last beach in the area to close was Bonita Beach. 2 silver earrings and clad. Oh well, maybe next time. Got creative and was going to rent a kayak and paddle my way to a couple different spots but in the end decided it best to make my way back to NH before who knows what happens. At this point I’d rather be in the woods digging coppers, buttons and musket balls. Be well all!

Too bad they think this is a big joke.
As they get older, us old farts will be smarter to them.
