Thanks, I'm considering that but ABS, Poly, and PVC screen mesh add almost as much to the price, but it is under $80 to Prime members:

They really should put a thick material like I mentioned above in it with zip ties.

What I'd really like to have is the "Tube Tubb", but it's $175 and $25 shipping. 

Not a scrap of metal on it, the Hoover Boys use them for river hunting in MD.

I have some Kevlar mesh I may use with zip ties. 🤔 Then nothing but sand will fall through.

if it were me I'd save the hassle and just return the one you have and get the one you really want. you WILL find a gold ring with scrap value that will pay for it. I've paid for all my MD equipment for many years with silver/gold scrap value and taking change to the bank. I've already found enough this year to more than pay for a VX9 if I so choose......enjoy your posts btw.

F350 I like how you migrate each year from inland fields to ocean beaches. Seeing that I live only 30 minutes from the ocean, I might have to leave the woods some day and hit the beaches. I like the solitude of detecting in the woods though. Is it a bit of a shock to the system for you when you are surrounded by hordes at the beach?

Thanks Lodge, 

Wow, only 30 minutes? My small beach is about 20 minutes away, fine white sand... and jellyfish. 😬 I've found gold, silver, and other cool stuff there though, it's easy to find fresh drops because I've wiped it out. Don't know if anyone else does it there.

I love relic hunting, and really miss it in the summer,  but all of my fields are planted and I haven't been seeking new permissions lately. I'll be doing that this fall.

Yeah, I'd be out on the beach, but do what Brad says and go early. 10am is basically the "witching hour" at any beach,  if you can get out of there by then you won't have to deal with much. Water hunting is very difficult unless there are no waves, which doesn't happen at the Atlantic.

Be prepared to be asked 1000s of questions, "Finding anything?" Being the most common. I love knocking them dead when they ask "What's the best/most valuable/coolest thing you've ever found?"

My answer to the first one is "Every time I do this, not much today", and the second varies from my 1607 KJ1 to "More Spanish silver than they ever found on Oak Island", to the latest ring I did not find at that beach. 🤣

My answer to "Can I have the next thing you find?" Is NO. Same with "Show me what you found".

You'll find most people are really nice, but wayyyyy more boring than you. 😎

I may just do that, and thanks for the kind words. My wife always tells me that, but next week is her "birthday week", so I have to set aside some bucks to get her something cool. We're off to another coastal beach for the week, I go out early and then come back to take her out shopping and to fun restaurants. 🙂

I like to say just one word ‘HOFFA’
