DewGuru,
It looks like your out on my beach in the video. I live right on the beach at IRB. I know the video isn't Clearwater, but it could be Maderia or Treasure Island. Anyhow, I was out this morning with my new Sovereign GT (I also have the Sea Hunter when I want a workout). I found 2 gold earrings one in the water under the pier and one in the sugar sand. My hat's off to you detecting in the midst of thousands of people. Not my bag. The funny thing is I am a weightlifter and was in competitions 25 years ago, now I'm 49 and nobody ever bothers me, but I don't look like a geek. My personal feelings is why detect in crowds? I spoke to one very prominent poster here several times on the phone and you know him very well and he carries "mase" with him and has had confirtations with beach goers. Reeaallly!!! To me there's a line on metal detecting. First of all at 49 I still go to the gym 3 days a week and can still bench press 315lbs and no one's kicking sand in my face (pun intented), but Reaally Mase and detecting in crowds? I see other hobbyist everyday while sitting out on my patio and I hear tourist all the time making fun of the metal detector guys. Now granted most of them either look like PeeWee herman, Larry the Cable Guy, or John Biluchi (sp), but come on now. Reallly. I've seen guys going between beach towels digging holes. Reaallllyy. That's creepy!!!! Guru you are definitely the man on finding gold, rings and everything else and your video is great. We may need to get together sometime and run the Sovereign against the Shark. Going to Miami and Key West for a long weekend for a little snorkeling with the Sea Hunter. Guru and the reason I commented on detecting on croweded beaches was, since I live on IRB, which as you know is more older timesharers and tourists with grand kids. I saw two really creepy (keeping it clean) guys this past week with Radio Shack MD's taking pics of girls on towels while pretending to dig holes next to them. One guy just about got clocked. The other guy I actually walked up to and had a nice recommendation for him. I love looking at All your jewelry you keep finding even Jesus and the 42 diamonds. Obviously you aren't like Any of these guys and go between towels. I think ALL of us need to confront any of these perv..rts who pretend to be doing metal detecting between towels. It really just makes us ALL look bad.
