Well Tom , there's no crying in metal detecting. I can put you up for no more than 3 days down here if you want. Because after 3 days , Friends , Family and Fish : All Stink !You southern CA guys make me sick. Sick sick sick. That southern swell did not reach all the way to my part of CA (Monterey Bay area) apparently. At least not for long enough duration. The south facing beaches (like Santa Cruz main beach) did not get any effect. The beach cam's show nothing appreciable.
That would make him save his trash finds...
