Wrapping up a short stay in Washington and met a guy detecting in the water. He was using an Equinox 600 and was kind enough to stop and speak with me for a couple of minutes. My wife and I have talked about the possibility of moving up here someday but I always thought that I would miss detecting in the water.
Well, from talking to this gentleman I now realize that there are a lot more opportunities for detecting up here than I realized. I know that I wouldn't find as much gold jewelry as in Southern California but the thought of finding well-preserved coins over 100 years old is of great interest to me and would make re-locating even easier.
I'm mostly talking about fresh water lakes and rivers but I ran across an old photo of Alki Beach from around 1910 and there were beach-goers in the water so more potential there as well.
Any Washington water hunters out there?
