I will be flying into Rome and then continue on to Gaeta the next day. I don't know if I'll have time to hunt I will be on board a ship most of the time. Not sure which machine to take, the Excal or the HH Wader.

Hello Ron,

I hope you'll enjoy our country in your trip here. As Nunzio tried to suggest, I would try a search in Gaeta. Absolutely avoid Rome beach and all the area south and north due to the high iron content of the sand there. I warrantee you'd not be able to use anything other than a good PI detector there and even with taht it is a difficult highly trashy area.
I've never been searching in Gaeta, but my friend Nunzio tells me it is a good place, full of tourists during summer.
You'll not find a virgin beach anyway. So be prepared for the desert.
Bring the Excal. Looking for coins at the beach is not forbidden here but do not mention anything to anyone about archeological anything.
The best infos I can give you of the area are these:

Wave peaks in Gaeta area:

The last time I was in Italy I was a drunken sailor many many years ago. I am looking forward to enjoying the things I missed when I was much younger and stupid. I will bring the Excal and hope for the time for a good hunt. Thanks again.
