I'm loving all the back and forth here. I was festering on this ever since they told me to leave, so seeing all of the points of view and points made makes me feel a little better.
I thought about snorkeling there, and keeping my gear under water. They can't see me, they can't have a problem with it lol.

Tom and I go way way back. I do things a little outside the box and we don't agree all the time but we respect each others opinions. I have had a LOT of escapades with officers and officials and some might think I go a bit overboard.
However I have never been convicted of a crime or found guilty of anything in court. Having been issued 6 citations while diving and detecting, I have a bit of knowledge. And since I was also a cop for a few years I know what they go through also.
Since I don't let police officers get to me, you know I wouldn't let a security guard get to me either. We are all on the same side, we just have different ways to handle different situations. Since I am not there, I can't tell you exactly what I would do. But I have had dealings with officers in Florida, Utah and Michigan and all have turned out in my favor so far.
It is silly that a HUGE corporation makes rules to prohibit playing in the water with a detector. I can understand during the day when tourists are out there but when nobody is in the water? Seems like security is bored and wants something to do. We all know there is the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. I am sure it wasn't meant for people that hunt at night not bothering anything but the fish. But they made a broad rule to fix any situation that might arise.
