[Deteknix Quest] 14k Gold Ring #119 for 2015

[OBN]

Got out this weekend for the first time in a month since taking on a short illness, Gallbladder decided it had to come out and the bad was I was in Chicago preparing to return home and it hit. So after a extended stay there and I'm finally home so I had to get out for a short hunt just to test out some of my winter hunting gear. Two and a half hours and I was wore out but I got a good idea what needed to be adjusted and enjoyed using the New Deteknix Xpointer diver. When your eye sight is bad and there is clam shells, pebbles and other trash covering good targets it really can speed up the process, not for all beach hunting but needed at some of my locations.

Gold Ring #119 for the year, hope to get back out in a week or so, a little sore still so going to take it slow and start planning for 2016

Good Luck to all, Be Safe and Have a Happy Thanksgiving..
