Leaving next week for 7 glorious weeks in St. Martin. Bringing my Excaliber II to keep me occupied. That diamond tiera is surely waiting for me this year.

How do you guys stay focused on detecting while on Orient Bay beach?

You'd be surprised how a fat, bald guy with a metal detector is so appealing to topless French women. Right!

Guess what's left for Tenderfoot?

At one beach - waded out to bout waist deep - it was hot - dove under with mask to head out to deeper - in front of me
was a ball of seagrass and seaweed tumbling by - saw chip bag and other trash mixed in and then saw the real green
roll by - grabbed it and looked for more but that was it =could not believe it
Ive found about $300 in cash over the yrs due to wearing my mask - keeping my eyes open and being lucky

It was a while ago that I was there. Some of the beaches are pretty rough and dive weights would be helpful. 7 weeks is outstanding. I was there for 2.

when i was on Orient - didnt find much in the water - think a group of guys were there before me - but as far as
eye candy - must have been off season - bout 80% men and I never saw a woman that was worth a 2nd glance
there should have been guards forcing people to put their clothes back on - but I was there to detect not sight see and Im pretty much blind after 15 feet
I met a few horn dogs in my past - one guy was swinging wildly with his coil bout 6 ins. off the ground - I asked him "are you new at this?" He said, "Nope ...been doing it for years" - I asked "and you find stuff swinging like that?" He said, "oh... my machines been off for the last 15 mins. ...Im just sight seeing"

Orient is a rough beach except for the nude section. Tough to dig in waves that are constantly filling in holes and moving you around. Never tried with goggles but I will this year. Usually I go out for a couple hours at the end of the day. Some of the beach gets raked in the morning so a lot goes away.

I remember Orient Bay very well, a well known magazine was doing a photo shoot at the time and as soon as my girl friend saw what was going on we had to move to a different part of the beach. This was many years ago and I didn't have a metal detector or binoculars at the time.
