    BDA is out of his Slump

    As will happen when you have been surf pirating for several years you hit a slump; not just bad conditions but a lack of desire to even go hunting. Last year was a lot like that for me and I rarely got out except to do retrievals for people who had lost rings and asked me to find them. (I...

    Finally came out of my surf pirating slump

    I haven't been very interested in treasurehunting since the summer and except for a wedding ring that I returned to a woman in October I haven't had any finds since the summer. Once I got back to Bermuda last week I felt the old fires burning in my gut to get out and find some loot again. In...

    Been a little crazy in Bermuda lately.

    I flew out to Canada mid-month to be there for my Mom while she underwent heart surgery (it went well and she is doing fine now). All the while Bermuda Immigration had the Sword of Damacles hanging over our heads as we awaited an appeal of their ruling that we must leave the island. (Bermuda is...

    One door closes and another one opens

    Bermuda immigration gave us the word that we have only a couple of months left on this island as they wish to export their unemployment problem by giving jobs occupied by expats to locals. I can't say I blame them as they are trying to take care of their own first but it means that we will be...

    A Bermuda 'Stay'cation

    I should be in Mexico this week, drinking Margaritas and hunting the surf off of Tulum but it was not meant to be. Our old dog had a stroke several weeks back, just before we booked our flight - she survived the stroke but is in no shape to be watched by a petsitter so we are having a...

    Glass Beach

    A couple of months ago a friend on another treasure hunting forum put out a general call for seaglass. it seems that the tumbled glass you find on the beach is a hot commodity and she uses the seaglass to make jewellery. There used to be a bottle factory in Bermuda near the old Royal Naval...

    Getting around Bermuda - Take the Ferry

    When people think of Bermuda (which is probably not very often) they think of one small island far out in the Atlantic Ocean. In reality, Bermuda is a group of 104 tightly packed islands that have been mostly connected by bridges over the years, For most of Bermuda's history the quickest and...

    Friends of mine looking to get into the hobby in Wales

    My mate Glenn is heading back to his home in Wales after a short stay in his native Bermuda. While he was here he got the detecting bug and I have suggested that he start out with the ACE250 until he gets his feet wet. I get excellent results in the dry and wet sand as well as the rare dirt...

    There's Always a Solution

    A farmer stopped by the local mechanic shop to have his truck fixed. They couldn't do it while he waited, so he said he didn't live far and would just walk home.. On the way home he stopped at the hardware store and bought a bucket and a gallon of paint. He then stopped by the feed store and...

    Turkeys aren't the only critters that have their balls on the menu, these boys are funny.

    I ran with the thread on fried turkey testicles at the Turkey Testicle Festival and Youtube being what it is, I was lead down strange and hilarious paths. Check these boys out,:crylol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z60lROCJsY

    Looking for an imaging system to find a 24k breadbox in around 60 feet of water

    A pirate buddy has put me on the trail of some serious loot that may or may not be there anymore. I'm willing to invest $10k and some time into the venture but need a good underwater imaging system to track this item down. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Cheers, BDA:cool:

    2nd ring return for 2009

    Several weeks ago I ran into a tourist pirate at Horseshoe Bay as I was exiting the beach after my spin. We got to chatting, as pirates will do and the next thing you know he mentions that the senior ladies that aquacize in the sheltered swimming hole had lost a wedding band. A 1961 vintage...

    French Canadian Humour for those of you who don't speak French:crylol:

    My wife is French Canadian from Montreal and so I picked up some of the French language over the years, it came in handy when she found this amazing site. Crazy Funny!:rofl: The site is 'TetesaClaques' which is french for 'Slap in the Head'. Not to worry, these are all in English.:thumbup...

    I need a good rain day.:sadwalk:

    There is something about sheets of rain pelting the window and lightning crackling in the background that makes me want to sit down a write a good tale. I've got a few building up to get out of my head and onto the site, just need a good, long, rainy day to get them out. The local forecast is...

    I think you guys should put Gulfhunter in charge of Q.C., if he can't break it then you have a winner on your hands.:thumbup:

    34 years ago the Edmund Fitzgerald went down with all hands

    I thought I would post this video for all the mariners out there. The sea is a cruel mistress, even a freshwater sea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgI8bta-7aw&feature=player_embedded

    To all the Va. Beach Surf Pirates - Safety First!:thumbup:

    A storm like this doesn't come along very often so there are going to be a lot of pirates down at the beach digging loot. If you have an inflateable life preserver - now would be the time to wear it. Hunting with a buddy wouldn't be a bad idea either. Have Fun, Find Lots of Loot but most of...

    Does anyone else have a recurring dream?:cool:

    For years now I have had the same dream that comes to me from time to time, it never varies in the least and though I found it shocking initially it no longer disturbs me the way it did the first time it came to me in my sleep. I'm not trying to be spooky or weird, this is just something that...
