GB_Amateur Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Just curious how you know this is Joe. Statistical argument? ("Who else would be in the Chesapeake Bay at this time of year??") No mention that the person is wearing a diving suit. The "five minutes in the water" statistic implies he wasn't. Of course the reporter may have had little information. The part about someone thinking he may have been detecting (again, not the substantiated info a thorough, thoughtful writer would include) also seems to indicate this story was quickly slapped together. Regardless, I hope the person recovers. If it was Joe he'll have quite a story to tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Just to be clear- based on this comment from another forum: "Talked to Joe tonight , he sounded a bit rough , however he said he will be able to go home this weekend" It SOUNDS like he is going to be okay (survived) but he could face a tough recovery after all that he went through. There was also a mention of a possible shoulder injury while being pulled from the sea. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cudamark Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I hope you're up a detecting soon Joe. Knowing you, you'll probably invent a new wet suit with a heater for your next hunt! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Wishing for a speedy recovery for Joe. As you can see, water hunting at any level from diving on wrecks to swinging ankle deep in the surf and everything in between has an element of risk, regardless of your experience and Joe is one of the most experienced water detectorists I know and he doesn't appear to be someone who is cavalier about safety. Once Joe has recovered and able, I hope he shares the experience online so that we can learn about the circumstances and lessons here. These things can sneak up on you, and the unexpected can happen quickly, and you can be in trouble before you recognize you are in trouble. I read a story of a fatality in the same region just the day after Joe's incident regarding a boater who was ultimately found by the same rescue crew involved in Joe's incident. Be careful out there folks. Very thankful that Joe will be able to ultimately tell the tale, himself. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeguard01 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 For those in doubt it was Joe. He's recovering and should be home soon. I let him tell the rest. Mike 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
