    Been away for a bit

    It's good to see some familiar faces but man am I ever surprised at how many new handles there are on the Beach and Water forum. This site has really grown and that's a good thing.:thumbup: I picked up my PADI certification this year, cashed in a bunch of loot at ARA and had a good run until...

    I've been away for a bit

    My maximum 6 years of residency in Bermuda is about to end so I have been selling off all the stuff we have accumulated over the years we have spent on this island. There have been highs and lows but all in all it is a beautiful island and we will do our best to remember the good times and...

    Hot Air Ballooning

    My wife Susan and I are on vacation in Florida just now and I booked a special adventure for us on this trip. A 3 hour hot air ballooning adventure, including pre-flight, ground crewing the hot air balloons, a free flight and champagne breakfast. The day started with a quick pre-flight...

    Two Months Worth of Loot Jan 25 to March 25

    The door was largely shut on Horseshoe Bay last year but it opened for almost 2 months, closing again last week when the sand plowed back in to cover any targets that I missed. Here's the loot: (Gold in the front and Silver in the back) [attachment 157078 LootJan25toMar252010016.JPG] Hang in...

    Another Pirate Leaves Bermuda

    For the last few months I have been treasure hunting with a good Mate and fellow Pirate by the name of Lee. I met Lee several years ago during a a treasure hunt out by The Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda, he was a dirtfisher then and about to leave Bermuda at the end of a work permit to return...

    How wet can I get on the Treasure Coast before they put the cuffs on me?

    As I understand it from what I have read on the internet, you can only hunt to the low tide mark between Point Canaveral and Fort Pierce because of the treasure lease that Mel Fisher's crew holds. The question that comes to mind is how do you determine the low tide mark. The tide mark on any...

    A Piece of Advice for Anyone Going Through a Dry Spell

    [attachment 156122 NeverGiveUp.jpg] Everybody has those times when the beaches are sanded in and it feels like they will never see the gleam of gold in the bottom of the scoop again. Hang in there, keep swinging and the tide will turn, bringing gold your way.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup...

    BDA is Coming to FLA:cool:

    I booked a flight tonight for Miami, landing March 29th for 10 days of looting. No itinerary, just a desire to loot and enjoy some warm water hunting for a change. Miami to Key West and then up the Gulf Coast to Tampa, that's about as much of a plan as we've got. I would like to hunt Casa Marina...

    Pirate Gift

    Sunday morning who should knock on my front door but my treasure hunting mate, Lee. I was a little foggy from the previous night's party and the fact that the clocks had sprung ahead by an hour didn't help either - still in all I was happy to see a fellow surf pirate. :thumbup: I got Lee a...

    Hunt Saved by Dolphins

    I've been nursing a sore right shoulder and elbow that has developed from all of the digging I have been doing since late January. Last night I told my wife that I would let my shoulder have a rest today but I guess I was mistaken.:rolleyes: The sand has slowly been creeping in and a look at...

    Just Another Day In Paradise:thumbup:

    I woke up early this morning, grabbed a coffee and went out to the patio to enjoy my java and the view of a perfectly calm ocean. No wind and no waves, just the longtails courting and a small fishing boat headed out to Challenger Bank. [attachment 155236 March102010-3Rings003.JPG] A perfect...

    An Absolutely Beautiful Day to be Looting

    The sun was shining and the sea was sparkling because there was no surf to at Horseshoe Bay. Perfect conditions for a low and slow hunt, listening for whispers with the Whites Dually. There weren't many targets today because the sand has really shifted in and covered the loot, burying it deep...

    2 week housesit in Bermuda March 27 to April 10

    My wife and I are taking a Caribbean cruise and as a result we are looking for a responsible housesitter to stay at our 2 bedroom waterfront home in Bermuda. You have to like animals as we have an old dog that needs to be fed and walked twice a day but other than that you can do whatever you...

    Silver, Shells and Sea Glass

    Yesterday I worked the big cut at Warwick Long Bay and I was a little disappointed with the results. [attachment 155000 WarwickLongBay001.JPG][attachment 155001 WarwickLongBay002.JPG] No old gold, in fact no gold at all - just a .800 silver fork, half a .925 silver bangle and what appears to...

    What a Cut!

    After my wife and I finished brunch we decided to meet up with friends and take a stoll along the beach because it was such a Bermudaful day. The weather has been consistently rotten since before Christmas so this was a much needed break from rain, cold and gales. We met up with our friends at...

    In Praise of Old Dogs

    In that early morning hour before dawn when a surf pirate drags himself down to the kitchen to make a mug of coffee (perhaps with a shot of rum - just for the vitamins) I was snuggled in bed thinking about anything but Surf Church at Horseshoe Bay.:goodnight: My old dog, Breanna (gaellic for 'a...

    A Token Hunt - just a couple of tokens

    The sun was shining 2 hours before low tide and the winds had calmed down to blustery so I thought 'what the heck, I'll suit up and see what's going on at Horseshoe Bay'. The shoulder was feeling pretty good and it made sense to give it a little exercise, so long as I took it easy. The surf was...

    2 words that should never be used in the same sentence - Cheap and Water Hunting

    Okay, that was 3 words but you get my point. The marine environment is hard on equipment, it fries electronics, corrodes stainless steel and break welded aluminium. This is not a place to go cheap and yet we constantly read posts with titles like 'What's the best cheap underwater detector'? or...

    Gold, Silver and Junk

    I got a call from the camera shop today and it was good news, Pentax honoured the warranty and I went into town to pick up my replacement camera. To save on shipping the shop gave me a new camera out of their inventory so that saved me weeks of waiting on a replacement to be shipped in from the...

    Yesterdays hunt was like the US Olympic Team's trip to Canada:lmfao:

    AS with that trip to Canada, my own trip to Elbow Beach produced lots of silver, lots of bronze and a bit of gold but at least the people were friendly.:rofl: My right side is still giving me some trouble, so I decided to take it easy today and work the wet sand instead of suiting up in...
