Some areas got hammered a bit and power is sorta back. We had just enough time to clean up some before the next storm. I managed to take this during Sandy when I was rescuing someone. The house was surrounded by several feet of water. I have a few other storm related vids too. Enjoy.

Holbrook here. Fairly new to the MD game, but having fun thus far. No real luck yet....

Pab, sorry to hear about LB. I have a good friend that lives out there, helped him gut his basement. Tragic..

what is your preferred pleasure? I'm always looking for prospecting company for weekend trips to VT in the summer. I have full accommodations in northern VT and an RV/camper spot near Keene right on the border.

Centereach here. This is my first post! I hope some of you will look in and get this forum going again. My machine has been put away for a few years since I got it but it's itching to come out again. If anyone wants to go out just give me a holler.

I'm in Huntington. Just curious, where do my fellow Islanders like to hunt? ( locally that is )

I'm south of you in the Babylon area . I've been to a few good spots in the Huntington area . There is a big park with an ice rink on Vanderbilt Pkwy just east of DPA . I have had luck up in the back part of the park . There's another nice park on Sweet Hollow Rd called West Hills , there are alot of trails that has produced quite a few coins and a couple of old tokens for me . Huntington is old , so hit the school yards and the parks . Hit the beaches that are on the LI Sound too . I'm sure it will be worth your time .
