Welcome aboard Cal Kellogg !

You just struck some rich pay choosing this forum.

Lots of info already posted to get you going . Ask those ???? when they pop up.

Guess you already know a good place to look ! 👁️‍🗨️👁️‍🗨️

5gpm , wow you really had to think before pushing them both full !  🙄 Make that 500 traps..

Yeah they look sweet inside but break out another thousand time is supposed to be repairs not gas !!  And repair is an extra zero or two. I suppose you could have sat offshore on the FL treasure coast to "fish" for a big one. Arrrrr.

Mom's Saturn is sounding better now , just two gallons RT to the state's biggest beach ! It doesn't take the waves so well though....

 Lunch over , I'm going back out detecting now but I'm taking my portable battery fan this time .😉  Too hot for headphones but I think I'll bring my little 9v pink noise generator and plug in the phones hanging around my neck to sound like surf .  Maybe I'll find a spanish real ?

Whatever I find , it will be in the shade . No sea breeze here . C'mon quahtahs  !

Sorry. 

The Merc 50 WOULD use 2 tanks a day  ! A 30 Maxum with twin 305's ???  

That's the definition of a TUB !  Point and laugh  ! Sorry man , but good you sold it . 

That is called working boat , you needed some traps to pay the gas,, probably ~ 300 of them !

A jonboat though huh ? More reasonable but still BIG Nahhhhhhhhhhhh ,,,good for beaching on smooth water beaches but those things sink ! 

 Crazy pirates use Whalers for a reason ! 

Headed to the garden......

Me Cap had a Merc 50 on a 16' Whaler. It loved to leave us sitting.

Turned out to be a little fuel filter inside the Merc....

Big ? Naaah 12' Whaler w/a 25 on the back would be perfect ! And way too fast....??for some people but not us crazy pirates 😜 6 gals lasts all day plus. But detecting and not out jumping wave tops, all of a 3 day weekend.   

A big one to me is 16' , everything else we call tubs.  Push too much water.

I did manage to get a couple hours in swinging the"beer garden" over by the betting windows on the 4th.  Betting windows have pavement all the way to the building so the garden looked better . Only got 25% of it so have to go back. Small haul of 1 clad dime so far. And yes a '65 arrrrrrrrrrgh.

They are staining all the picnic tables out on the pavement so the grassy garden was clear sailing. Need to finish soon...

The best way to find parking at a beach is using a boat !  😉 But I don't have one anymore....🥲 

Not too shabby Toad !

You must be on an older site than I've been on , I always find 1965 almost but no cigar clad !🙄

hmmmmmm, have you ever been to Maine ? might explain that.  🥸

WTG , and you found Lightning McQueen ! 

Nothing like finding live explosives on a beach 😳

Nice pile a quahtahs too !👍

I found 8 in one hole a couple of weeks ago...ok , it was a big 1' dia.  hole . LOL

It does have a nice color ! 

Super good find even if it is newer.

Like phrunt said , it looks like it would be uncomfortable to wear though.

Maybe a "fight ring" , with brass on the other hand ?

Buy a good bucket and keep it under 90 .

Although , I guess as a singer you COULD lose an arm (but not two, microphone unless you buy Garth's CM 10) or a leg and still be able to sing  !!👍🦽  Maybe make that 75 ? 

Goin' up to the mine for the first trip ? ?  

Keep writing , you're gonna need a backup when you burn out on gigging😝

It's a fun story to read and I'm not concerned about the % of real life to made up story line which is of course on our favorite subject .  (My guess is well over 50%.) 

(It would be cool to do the final chapter narrated live around a campfire up at the mine  before you post it ...maybe stage a little gunfire up on the hill for FX ?😧)

THX for the pic of Jacob . It IS nice to know what he looks like IMO.

You fired the Thompson ?  COOL ! 🤠

Nice Bike , be careful on it. Too many musicians lost on those things ya know  ..plus don't forget , the rest of the band is counting on you to make that next booking .😎😎😎😎

Good job picking where to look ! 👁️‍🗨️👁️‍🗨️

Welcome to the forums Pathfinder !

A lot of great advice to your question already and it looks like you found a winner !

There is a lot of detector specific info already posted .  There are forums for each manufacturer to get better answers to your questions from folks that already use the same one ! You can learn a lot before you get one in your hands .

Good luck out there and researching where to detect is the key to finding likely places with more of the targets you want .
