Florida Jitters

My family and I are going to Florida for 2 weeks and for some reason the closer I get to leaving the more I think about getting in the water to detect, is there about ten of you that would be willing to metal detect with me (around me) so that you can warn me about any kind of problem with teeth that might be getting a little close?
 
I here some of them have gold teeth, so your detector
should beep when they get close. HH

normally don't get testy till breeding season,,Shuffle your feet,,That way if you bump a stingaree,,most likely he will hust flutter off,,not so if you stomp down on his midsection,,One thing good about xcal,,they dont like the multi frequency,,Havent tried any other machines,they run from it,,hopefully away,Oh yeah,,I always look behind me from time to time, and get out of the water when light fades in the pm,,,They (bullsharks) are said to prefer dining at dusk,,,(happy hunting),,,,,,,,cs
 
You sure its not jewelry in their tummy from their lastest meal.
 
With all you people out there somone is bound to know if there is any truth to the things I have heard. I am told that sharks are extemely sensitive to electrical currents and avoid them as they perceive them to be dangerous. If this is the case would not our pulse sounds be detected by sharks and they would avoid us? I know that their electrical sensitivity is also one of the ways that they hunt for food, however I am not interested in being the chow! Any info would be greatly appreciated.
 
Interesting subject on the electrical current and sharks! I can tell you this, I fish the waters of SE Georgia on the Florida line which happens to be the breeding grounds for most sharks on the East Coast. I have had my fish finder going (not sure what frequencies it puts out) and stereo and have had sharks take bait right at the boat. I've have even seen them slam fish as I was reeling them in. So something to think about.
The other toothy critter around here is gators, and the lifeguards called everybody out of the water this past summer when I was MDing on a beach in NE Florida. So don't believe it when someone says they don't go in salt water. That's not true! I've seen them many times in salt water. Don't know how gators react to electrical currents but they do like chicken
