Hey Guys;
Sorry I was venting after registering the other day.
Just couldn't grasp why the confirmation would assume I'd used a wrong e-mail address to reg. and so it took a couple of tries for me to decide to ignore that box. As for the Charter Member statement, I didn't have time to read far enough to discover I needed to pay for that privilege. Further, it was mention of a Corps of Eng. Permission letter which drew me to the site initially and not knowing about being a Charter Member etc... So I have some knowledge now I didn't have before, Thanks.I have had some contact with Corps-types and seem to recollect permission to hunt swimming areas wasn't a problem but that was YEARS ago. I recently discovered Friendly Metaldetecting Forum and have been enjoying posting my finds, hearing about/seeing the other's finds too. I noticed Max VaBch posts here too, I really enjoy his posts and wish I had the time to be in the "lane" as much as he is.
looking forward to seeing all your successes and showing mine too. I also recently bought an Excalibur1000 and can't wait for my July 4th week at Myrtle Beach!! On that note, does anyone know where to obtain a block of floation foam. I'm talking about the kids "noodle" type stuff as it needs no protective coating.<just want it in a rectanglular not round shape> I found some large styro-foam blocks from a furniture store's shipping refuse but it will require fiberglassing or something to keep it from disintegrating from use at the beach. Not being a surfboard maker I'd prefer something a tad more "ready-made".
Happy Hunting all.
Jim
