Hey all,
I’ve officially decided my next chapter is the "wandering the beach looking for shiny things" era. I spend most of the week writing code and staring at the same carpet in my apartment, and my dog Winston is starting to deeply judge my lack of outdoor hobbies. It's time to get out, get some sun, and touch some sand here in Lake Worth Beach.
Here’s the tea: I am 100% brand new to this, and currently entirely gearless. Before I drop my hard-earned cash on a brand new setup and pretend I know what I'm doing, I was wondering if any of you local legends are looking to declutter?
I am happily accepting donations of any old, dusty, entry-level starter detectors you might have taking up precious closet space. If it turns on, beeps at rusty bottle caps, and saves a total beginner from paying retail, I am your guy. I’m more than happy to trade my IT/tech support skills, premium pictures of my dog, or just buy you a coffee in exchange for a starter rig.
Jokes and freebies aside, I really am excited to learn the local ropes. I want to make sure I know the proper etiquette so I'm not that guy ruining the good spots for everyone else.
Drop your best local tips, your favorite beach-hunting advice, or your spare equipment in the comments.
Ready to swing (the detector, that is),
Joseph
