That water is definately clear. I wish I had closer access to beaches - I would love to go metal detecting in the sand!

I'm at the MD & DE beaches for the week, I wish that the water here was that clear and calm. I'm also using an Excalibur and the wave action is making swinging the detector and scooping rough. Hope you're getting some good finds!
