Just had the pic in my computer, traveled the world, but no I do not live close to the ocean, although I do allot of beach detecting, along the rivers I live by, live in northern Idaho next to the snake river, going to school up here. Used to live in San Diego when i was in the Marines, then all over Colorado, now here in northern Idaho. O.k, place, really boring though.
Right now I own a couple of White's pi pro's for diving, which is one of my many hobbies, I'm usually running a Garrett's ace 250, been real fun so far, but I also have a Tesoro umax which is a great dependable detector, I'd never guess by the looks of the tesoro's just how good they really are, I used to own an xlt, Bigfoot coil, snipper coil which i found allot of good stuff with, but the tesoro is real user friendly and without the hassle of ground balancing it's just turn on and go.
Thanks for the welcome, talk at ya later, law.
