[@baystateplugflipper7061]

Nice work Frank, good to see you with a better beach machine!! Keep at it brother

[@frankhilladventures3620]

I've had the Nokta for a while now, and have used it a few times. It seems to work well, but I don't think that I would want to use it in the water.

Good to see you out there hunting buddy, hope you are getting some good finds. Hunted Amber beach after the hurricane, came up blank , still fun hunt. Fireman jim

[@frankhilladventures3620]

Came up blank, huh? Well, at least is just not me (LOL!). Ambersand was on my list, but next I am thinking back to my old haunts near turtle trail.

@@frankhilladventures3620 not a bad idea, I also hunted treasure beach and got nothing, might head to bonsteel in the morning and Ponce Delion beach then spessard holland south, maybe run into Terry Shannon, see how his summer went up north, keep me posted on your hunts buddy, Jim

[@jameshabovick8949]

@@frankhilladventures3620 went this morning south of Bonsteel beach and got a big ship spike , its iron, did they use iron ship spikes on the fleet, hope your hunting is going well buddy, like you say, if you ain’t swinging you ain’t finding, heading out again in the morning to south Melbourne beach, down by Terry Shannon’s trailer, there is a wreck there, any good finds lately, Fireman Jim

[@frankhilladventures3620]

@jameshabovick8949 Way cool! Yes, some later ships used iron. What a great find.

@ thank buddy, we have had some big surf here, washing up some crazy stuff, came upon a flat screen tv the other day , crazy, happy hunting buddy

[@goldringhunter2431]

Dang, glad I seen you, I thought about going down to pick threw the trash. But I will stay home and hit the lake.

[@frankhilladventures3620]

Thanks for watching. Yes, the storms have really stirred things up, but in the long run that will work to the treasure hunter's advantage. I am getting the same kind of reports from the Vero to Sebastian areas; lots of sand and few finds. The secret here is to not give up and keep swinging that coil.

I lived on the river for 20 years when I first moved in. I built a pier On the bank of the river. When I moved the pier was 1500 feet from the water. 500 years would change the terrain considerably, everything Is not worth it was.

[@frankhilladventures3620]

Yes, well, like it has been said, you can't step into the same river twice.
