I know this has been hashed out by many, but this might be a bit different.
In phase 1, I’m going to hunt perhaps up to waist deep in inland(Wisconsin) freshwater looking for coins and jewelry this year to some degree. ANY water hunting I do will consist of a true swimming beach....sand everywhere and it will slope into the water gradually...the classic “beach”. I won’t be hunting anything but sand...no “muck” or boulders,etc.
In phase 2, I will be hunting shallower water in rivers perhaps up to my knees, depending on how fast the water is. This will consist of some gravels and rocks perhaps to the size of a baseball at times.
I’m not worried about price. I’m looking for advice on what works THE BEST, not “what works”. I’m pretty handy with a welder so I could make something “work”.
People who have had experience in these conditions...what say you? I’ve had a lengthy PM back and forth with a forum member here who has pointed out a lot of stuff, but I’d like to see what others have to say about inland rivers and freshwater hunting, and what might be different about it as opposed to hunting the ocean beaches.
Thanks!
