  1. OF COURSE !

    I should have thought of that  !                                                                                                  Hmmmm , I wonder if there is a beach somewhere that plays Jimmy Buffet ?  You'd think there would be..

    Ya know , I did buy a used gig bag to see if my Nox would fit in it....nope , it wasn't for an acoustic...

    I think I'll try building a custom hard shell case for it . For now , I'm using a backpack.

    Anyhoo , to get back on the rack track . I saw a guy that had a rack for surf fishing rods on the wall in the back of his truck....little push in clips on a piece of plywood.  No idea what the clips are called though ?? 

    I think I remember someone here mentioned them , maybe post #1 on this thread ? LOL best idea , now who's gonna make kac one ?

     

     

     

     

     

  2.  

    Yup yup , sounds like you just need more time with the detector getting to know each other.......Remember , don't expect too much until the third date  ! 😄

    Keep your coil under control and on target.

     

     

  3. Welcome aboard Gary.                                                                                                                 I've fished the sea all my life,,,so I knowwwwwww ,,, You probably had to throw that one back ,,,,,,too small ! arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Next time bait up for kraken .😁

    BUT , you sure hooked into a good one when you chose this forum....

    Looking forward to tales of detecting and pics of yer finds. 

     

     

     

     

  4. Welcome aboard Scarfoot !

     I just gotta ask ,,,,do you call your detector "My Little Friend" ? 

    Oh , that's right , my mistake  I thought you said Scarface !  Guess I should change my welcome aboard accordingly..

    Now I understand the question about the misplaced pick ..........

     

    Just kidding.  

    What do detectorists and prospectors do in their spare time ????

    PICK on each other !

    My friends tell me I "Ain't Right" but they really don't know how much.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  5. March 8th low tide is around  2:15 pm on that neck of the coast.

    I've got an appt. that day but will try to change it somehow  !!

     (They canx on me yesterday 2 hours prior so hopefully that will buy me some slack ???)

     

  6.  Welcome aboard the treasure train Chuck ! And welcome in from the shadows too.

    Hope that Nox treats ya right ,  Ask about anything you need help with , you are now surrounded by raw detecting talent,,,,,well the other guys  , not me. skuh kuh kuh kuh kuh

     

     

     

     

     

  7. podunc,

    Bangah ?

    podunc isn't just yer forum name , be my guess !  I already figured it meant not exactly on the coast ....yup yup.   I lived in Newport for a decade or so .....

    The ranger at Reid (Sam) probably missed ya  !  She gave me permission over the phone last spring (Covid) but said i'd need a written permit after covid.`

    Other Rules ,  on beach only and not when lots of people.

    They can take your gear so tread lightly in the SPs.

     

     

     

     

     

  8. Call ranger at Reid before going , you'll need a permission,,,oh and they expect you to turn in everything you find............

    I like OOB , usually park on P Point end.

    We'll have to get together for a hunt when the weather gets back to livable again...

    I get pretty achy in the cold  But I have insulated rubber boots , I'm gonna have to do stair climbing to walk in 'em for very long though ,,,they're heavy monsters but can double for cracking crabs .  LOL.

    Hope your new gear shows up on time. 

    You're gonna spend a LOT of time over on the Equinox sub forum.  Check out Steve's info pages too.

     

     

     

     

  9. Welcome aboard Chummy .    

    What beach are ya plannin' to be headed to ??

    I'm over near the navy base, Oh Ayuh !

     We lost a lot of snow yesterday , but will freeze back up tonight arrrrrrrrrrrr.

     

  10. If you sign up today we'll double your order and pay the shipping,,,there will be a small handling charge  , well two , we're doubling the order ,,,, for free !

    Maybe we could all chip in and have a pool to guess the release date .

    Winner gets ,,,a 6000 ! If the pool grows that big by then,,,I'm sure it will. 

     

  11. Welcome aboard  Cootiewap ! 

    Lots of info already posted here and just asking works too.

    I joined up last fall and still have a long way to go to see it all.

    (Be prepared to push your jaw back up after seeing some of the finds posted here !)

    Happy detecting and good luck out there...........that sweet spot will reveal itself with time...passing over possible targets in more than one direction may be helpful.

    I'm heading outside myself to test a bare spot on the ground and see if I can jam a shovel into it somehow.  

     Snow is such a waste of good shoveling.............LOL

     

     

  12. Welcome aboard !

    This is one of the best places you could find to ask those ???.

    As you have seen already , plenty of experienced as well as new to the game voices in here and sure there'll be many more too.  Whatever style your interests and abilities may lead you  to ,,somebody here is probably into that a lot and guess it's a picture is worth a thousand words kinda thing... 

    One thing you also might consider is looking for a local detecting club and go to a few meetings asking the same questions..

    It's very possible you will get a chance to try out a machine or two and maybe even snag a detecting buddy with experience to get you started.

    You can also do site research and possibly get some permissions in line so you're ready to hit the ground run...er walking ,,,ya know , when you can SEE the ground again ! LOL.

    Good luck on your first hunt,,,,you'll have beginner's luck going for you already !

  13. Welcome aboard .

    If you've found any gold , would you mind sending me a map with an X marking the spot ?

    Arrrrrrrrrrrr , just kiddin'!  Just postin' a pic or tellin' the tale will do .....

     

    May all yer beeps be yellow...
