    Got to the beach for 3 hours today.

    Got to the beach for about three hours today, with my SE, and my mighty Sunray X12... A lot of black sand about mixed with numerous of "hot" pebbles, this stirred things a bit and caused a chirpy erratic threshold. Dropping my sensitivity made no difference but changing to semi-auto sensitivity...

    Fitted a SS Garrett Sea Hunter arm rest...:cam:

    I never liked the arm strap idea on the Explorer arm rests, so I fitted this light SS armrest from a Garrett sea hunter. It feels really good, and gives total vertical arm containment, while allowing quick and easy arm withdrawal... The ring above the handgrip is for clipping on a bungy...
