Met up with Guzz at about 8:30am this morning at a beach in the Sarasota area. At our morning briefing he described the beach and water as clean. Entering the water we went separate ways. Within the 1st 75 ft,I got a weak signal. I started digging with a Sunspot scoop which in my opinion is a great scoop for targets that are 10in or less. However, by the time I dug the target I was close to 20 inches and as I suspected for the last 6 inches of digging it turned out to be the bottom of a beer can. Time spent 15 minutes. As I made my way further down the beach I heard a very very faint signal. After digging for 10 or so minutes, Guzz was close enough that I called him over,asked if I could borrow the good old Diamond Head scoop. After I dug 5 or 6 more scoops Guzz being the nice guy he is,offered to help. We were in waist high water and already when Guzz stood in the hole to dig he was chest deep (see pic below)....as we entered the 20 min mark Guzz was chin deep when standing in the hole. (see pic below) By then he was getting tuckered out and wanted to hunt. I told him I would dig until sunset if I had to. 5 or 6 more scoops and up came the target, not the bottom of a beer can this time. The whole DARN BEER CAN. I judged the hole to be over 30 inches deep. I dug several more beer can bottoms before we took a sandwich break. If Guzz ever tells you that this will be an easy beach to hunt, run the other way...tongue and cheek... My wife and I had a great time....rdi
