Never ever would I have thought what happened, would happen. Late last night, while using my new Tesoro sand shark, (4 months old) on a beach called Singer island here in south florida, I was confronted by 2 males with masks on. They had crazy Halloween masks. They had a knife and asked me to empty my pockets. They took my wallet, metal detector, scoop, iPhone , and even my freaking car keys. Then they told me if I moved at all they would charge at me and cut me "for real" as they said. So they ran off, and I waited like 30 mins. I slowly walked back to where I parked, called my parents at a 7 eleven near by and we filed a report. I honestly think they're going to find these guys. Im checking CL everyday and things like that. It really sucks cause I'm in collage and it was like a side job/hobby I really enjoyed lol. But I'm alright, and that's all that matters. I'll keep you guys updated on whatever happens. For now, no more detecting for me! I can't wait to post there mug shots on here once they get them :P I've got the serial number on that baby written down so soon enough I'll get my detector back!!!! I hope

I don't know how I missed this post, but I want to tell you how sorry I am for what you had to endure at the hands of those hoodlums.

I'm glad to read that all turned out well for you and that you are back detecting due to the generosity and kindness of a fellow detector.

Stay safe!

Lorraine

Thats what I heard not seen it in writing yet. Gotta do some research. Hey Hubcap the hunting has been weak. Hope it picks up. Went out and caught some surf today. Probably found 30 bottlecaps and a dime this morning.

Ya been bleak here to, Sponge. Spending majority of time inland, but have made a few trips to low tide.

I missed this the first go round too. As a recovering perpetual-paranoid myself, hearing stuff like this is brutal but don't let it color your outlook on life or affect a single thing you feel like going and doing. A much better example of 'your fellow man' in action is the person who sent you that Sand Shark.

Some people live their lives in fear, constantly in 'condition red', not leaving the house to get the mail without taking a gun with them because of that one time they got mugged, or because of that one time they (encountered an idiot). Its their right to be that way but man, what a sad, sad way to spend your days on this earth.
