Default learned a lot today again.

I was going to Miami Beach to the sopt where the incline sit-up was but I got sidetracked with some lab results and stuff like that. My wife and the kids went to a beach in Hallandale. I for the first time did some surf detecting which was pretty fun. I ended up finding like 10 regular pennies and I like it. I HAVE A WHITES DFX AND I ALREADY KNEW THIS BUT BOOBIE REMINDED ME THAT I CAN PUT THE COIL UNDERWATER BUT TO BE CATEFUL WITH THE BOX ON TOP. I was going to go further in but there were many waves and did not want to risk getting the box wet. I LIKE THE FACT THAT INSTEAD OF FILTERING THE DIRT I JUST RUN IT OVER SOME OCEAN AND ALL THE SAND COMES OUT WITHOUT ALL THAT WORK

Default hey smartfox

another point to do is unscrew the coil and rinse off the screw and mount,
because the beach sand will get inbetween and also the pole, for corrusion.

Default thanks boobie, dugday, ranger

these are all good tips. I did wash the equipment with regular water. Boobie the clear bag over the box sounds real good. was already thinking about doing something like that and you just confirmed it is a good idea when surf detecting again.
