All right guys ,I have been doing research on a resort area that was big in the 20s-30s and still had a lot going on through the 40s and 50s. Today I made the 85 mile drive down and started asking locals . I got lucky and talked to an 85 year old man that said he remembered when it was very popular and he used to dive off the pier as a small boy.He gave me the low down on where everything was and how lots of people stayed in the water! I am thinking there should be some nice rings there.
The pier is gone but it still has pillions left. It is a private area but I found out who the property manager was and gave him a call. We had a positive phone conversation and he told me to go ahead and search the area and if asked just tell people he gave me permission. And I was asked as soon as I got out of my truck..
The tide was high and my scoop weighs a ton.. I tried to recover two targets and could not get either one. I think this place is going to be a gold mine once I get a new scoop and build a floating sifter. I am planning on getting a hookah system in the future also.(Awaiting funds)
So I need to know a the name of a good LITE scoop for wading and any pointers . I have done a lot of beach hunting but stayed out of the water for the most part. I am going to try to get back down during low tide but it is a good haul away so it may take a week or more till I get back get back. I hope to clean house when the tide/weather is right.
