back from Greece

[ron sveum]

I did not get to detect but did spend three very nice days in Corfu, Greece before riding the USS Roosevelt back to Norfolk. Although I did fly off on Thursday. So today Me and the wife scheduled a Western Caribbean cruise. In August We will be going to Cozumel,
Grand Cayman, Jamaica, and Hispaniola. so if any body has detected in these areas I would like to know the details so I can start planning now. The wife said I'll have time to detect in each port for a couple of hours. I plan to bring the Excal and I will probably need a new scoop(suggestions please). Summers almost here

I like large stainless steel scoops. I fell in love with Max's when he let me use it for a day so I bought one. The reason behind my choice is I have a tendency to bury the bucket when I scoop. Aluminum scoops don't like that much. Mostly because sand doesn't drain well and the long handle can bend easier.

I guess it really boils down to what your scooping, dry sand, wet sand, coarse sand or fine sand and your scooping habit's. If you call Kevin at http://www.rtgstore.com and give him some info he could point you in the right direction. I think he has the finest scoops available. Just my opinion.
