Most Hated Words for a beach detectorist....

This time of year seems the worst word in the Chesapeake Bay is..Jelly Fish. The bathers are going into the water and coming right back out for they are getting stung. As a hunter you cover every inch of your body from sun and those little guys, I've heard finds of any kind are way down.

Since most beaches I hunt are no longer in use, I guess the bad word for me is "sanded in"..

A wet suit won't protect you from them ?

Yes, wetsuits and gloves work great. It the bathers who are wearing the gold that they are keeping out of the water. Yesterday the jelly fish were not as bad so I took off my wetsuit top and wore my long sleeve nylon shirt, I could feel them thru that but not full strength..more like a tingling sensation.

This is what I normally wear during the summer, no problems

I'm allergic to hornets. My luck I'm allergic to them.
I'd probably need a 10 Mill suit. 😄

So they say, I got my senior park pass to one of the local fresh drop beaches so I hope to add that to the mix with the older beaches I hunt. I really don't expect much since I was told the jelly fish have been a problem.
