Jellyfish are gang members, and they like cold water........

I went to the "hot spot" today. The first thing I saw when I dropped down was a jellyfish casually cruising past my face, about 10 inches away.
The water was pretty cold too. I saw a number of other divers wearing light suits get in for five minutes, then leave.
I had a 6 mil dry suit on, it was warm, except for the water trickling down the back of my neck. BRRRRR.
I hunted for about a half hour,maybe forty five minutes. Got one dime, and three sinkers.
The water was nice and clear, but just too cold to stay in for very long. The jellyfish were moving around me more than I cared for too.
Oh well, back to the wet sand.:detecting:
 
That's cool to see Jellyfish. I did not realize that you detected underwater. Do you go completely under as in diving? I want to get a water detector and do some fresh water hunting. Seems like everyone finds the rings in fresh water swishes...
 
Jellyfish can be bad but really watch out for the Portugese man-o-war. They are much worse. Also the stingrays and a host of other unseen things in the water. These things pose a much greater threat to waders than to divers but nobody is immune. And most shark attacks, at least on the southern east coast, occur in shallow water. And just one last thought, though I've never seen it, I have heard of rattlesnakes swimming in the surf in Georgia, from the SC border to the Fla border. Now that's a scary thought.
