3 Hour water hunt with new scoop no bling but lots of OJT

[deepdiger60]

My back still hurts some, but it is that time of year to hunt the beaches so what did i do ? took my scoop and Sov GT to a Bay beach the water was like a mirror !!! 70* and low tide since i took off my S-1 search probe just for beach hunting there is nothing to short out on the shaft i made a custom chest mount for the box it,s about 7 inches below my chin perfect just look down and i can see the meter or very easy adjustments to the box it is save up there i only went in waist deep , no bling today but just a small silver bird ring with Turquoise inlay and lots of pull tabs i dug them all plus a good pair of Polaroid shades that big scoop works fantastic what amazed me is how deep that 10" Tornado coil goes in 3 feet of water in the picture you can see very small bits of metal they were 2 scoops deep maybe 10" so dam small but that Sov GT sounded off loud . I finally got my 3 hours in and that scoop is a breeze 8" Stealth plus the new chest mount i made ill be busy at the Ocean beaches next come the end of Sept. ill be doing farm fields again HH Jim

Very cool, and sounds like you have the GT set up perfect for wading.

Jim,the transition from land to wading is more difficult that a lot of hunters realise.You are off to a good start.Good Luck Ron
