Default The BEAST!!!!

I wanted to log on here and say hello. I tried the whites Dual Field for a few months and although productive I didn't care for all the trash. Being without a detector is not good, so with winter my new beach hunter, I named her the BEAST!!!!

Best set up I have ever had, Say hello to the (((((THE BEAST))))))...

I have to work today but Thursday, Friday, Sat, and Sunday are looking good just have to get the tides right....

I have two bad disc's and with the weight of the Excal is to much, I've torn tendons. How ever with the new set up the detector weighs nothing and I managed to find some dive boots with solid supports. Here goes, maybe I'll call in sick

The dual field burnt me out in one summer, I never thought I was coming back.

I walked into a shop to sell my gold and I picked up an excal hooked to a anderson rode and just had to have one. The excal without one it to heavy unless I dive with it, but this rod took everything I didnt like about the EXCAL away. ALTHOUGH I HAD TO DRIVE TO JERSEY TO GET ALL THIS STUFF I GUESS EVERYONE IN CT WENT OUT OF BUSINESS

Jamie....nice set up! I have the exact same one though if you are right handed (as I am) I found having the "control" cylinder on the right side of the Anderson shaft forced me to rotate ackwardly when I switched from DISC to PP and back....just a thought. Otherwise have a TON of fun! I love my set up.
