Get used to it everyone.........fewer and fewer finds are the norm nowadays and it'll only get worse.
Don't you mean F**kd By J ?Don't lie, you went down there to get FWJ's autograph didn't ya?
Missed 'em, but like I said, it's a process that will take time....Don't lie, you went down there to get FWJ's autograph didn't ya?
I'm guessing you could tilt the coil sideways with that monster and knock out every detector for 100 yards.This is why I built Goldzilla to show those new groups that it might be pointless to hunt my beaches as I’ve been towing Goldzilla up and down the beach lol . Should keep a lot of local beach hunters on their toes .
Yeah hahahha they will be like the EMI all the sudden on this beach is crazy lolI'm guessing you could tilt the coil sideways with that monster and knock out every detector for 100 yards.
So 100% true. Though there is a tuber who predominantly films Redondo/Torrance. Buy I'm sure you've seen the recent videos from this "crew" where they head north and hit 5 beaches in a day. They basically got skunked. You could tell they didn't know the beaches at all because they've never been there before. I get it though , as your own spots dry up you have to branch out and travel......
Yes, JJJ shoots mostly in Redondo/Torrance. With tongue in cheek he has stated he is hunting a "secret beach"......and he was- MY Secret Beach...
My guess is you hit the BC area. I used to live 1 mile from there , met my x-wife and considered that my "home" beach........
You are correct about the BC area. I have also been down Newport way with Compass a few times.....
I bought Don's book sometime in the 90s. It was more of a binder/pamphlet and had great info. I wish I still had it. I met Don a couple of times while out hunting and he had a few years on me. No idea if he is around anymore. It was really because of him and that book that I took a more serious approach to branching out and learning other beaches farther away from where I lived.
The late, great Jim Straight turned me on to Don's books. I never met Don, but I am sure he is gone now. Thankfully, I still have his books…..
The power of positive thinking!You're looking at this all wrong. It's a self correcting issue. These bozo's planting finds convince people to buy a manitcore. Said newbie heads to the local beach and gets heart broken when all they find is pulltabs, and 6 months later that manitcore is on marketplace at 50% off having been lightly used and found zero gold.
That's how the vast majority of these go, sure there's a few that stick around and get serious but they will be the types that would do it anyway.
I think just getting out, moving around, bending down and digging a little, standing back up is a win... It's more exercise
than a lot of modern people see in a month. I'm kind of in the same boat. Finding "treasure" is nice, but for me it's the
same as when I go fishing. Spending the day at the beach sifting sand... it's so much better than every other day of the
week that it's like living a different life. It's so amazing to have a day where you can just enjoy it and it's not a challenge
to find a reason not to use drain cleaner as your coffee creamer.
