Why would they consider them illegal. Most people use them as a hobby. It's like customs confiscating a fly rod or diving equipment. Doesn't make sense.

It is not uncommon for municipalities to ban their use from public areas, citing unauthorized excavation, damage to green areas and loss of "historical" items.

We've had people with metal detectors come up on our private beach and scan under the hammocks. Hopefully, they were planning on letting us know if they found anything.

Ruth,

If Art would stop carrying those gold coins in his swim trunks while spending the day dozing in the hammocks we wouldn't have this problem.

But Chooch, he needs something to give to the little ones selling necklaces...

No one seems to mention that barge of Belikin that sank north back a number of years ago. Probably bad by now.

I betcha that cargo barely hit bottom before it was liberated

That very accurate. it hardly was under long enough to chill the beer.

IIRC same thing happened off CC not too long ago. Quickest salvage in CC history

Anybody know when the next barge is scheduled to sink?
