When people are detecting water a lot of management people have NO IDEA HOW SAFE WE MAKE THE WATER BY REMOVING dangerous objects

I’m glad I removed it from the water as there was children in the water playing with no shoes
Thanks again and take care

Out there in the shallow water with the Excal2.
Glad I dug this broken glass bottle cap and removed it from the water.
Just a reminder when your searching for treasure hazards can be present.
Also got a few nice recoveries..
Thanks again for stopping and I hope your next hunt greets you with big rewards
Thanks from all for the tip. I always wear a pair wade fishing boots when I hit the beaches. Cheap insurance, $39 @ Bass Pro.

Take care

Thank You
I also got 8 stitches in my wrist when I fell on a broken glass
There was some children nearby with nothing on their feet having fun playing in the water .
We are out there trying to find a few presents and would hate to have to go to the emergency room if we are lucky enough to drive there in time

People wonder why glass is NOT allowed on beaches! This is proof again that we help whatever environment we are lucky enough to be able to detect!
Thank You
It’s true seems I’m always removing something
A few hunts earlier I found glass in the scoop along with a couple coins.
It’s definitely a heads up for me

This is a prime example of why metal detctorists are a needed part of society.

Imagine if there were no metal detectors what our land and beaches would be full of.

I find at least one potential hazard every time i detect.

Good work Bill.

ARC. Thank You
I’m glad I removed this from the water and put it carefully in the trash when I got back home.
Two pieces of glass so far this season I removed it’s a heads up for me knowing that hazard’s are present.
Please also stay safe when you are out there too..
Thanks again and take care

My focus isn't beach hunting but the same applies to the fields. I always wear gloves when digging, my tetanus shot is up to date, and of course I always remove any trash I dig or find.

It’s so sad to see …and here’s people enjoying a warm day in the sand and water and could have a serious accident happen
If this trend continues where people don’t respect the surroundings these places will be closed permanently

Yeah places are being closed because of idiots here. A fantastic picnic, fishing and swimming area where I am with shelters, electric bbq's, toilets big grassed areas, lovely place. Closed and never to re open. Hoons would do burnouts in the car park, leave rubbish and broken beer bottles and climb on the dam wall structures to take selfies. We loved that place. Finished. Too many of that type around these days unfortunately.
Good luck out there mate.

Good luck.
Yeah locals from all around submitted petitions about the place. Was a great spot to fish. I miss going there. After these floods are over for sure it would be awesome fishing there as from when I was a kid and my father took me there it always was. Idiots wreck everything.
Cheers and make some good finds mate 👍
