    Yeah, Rick has been around for a while lol He is a good beach hunter along with a few others in that group. Glad he returned the rings that he could...that shows a lot about a person.

    Very cool stuff! I hope to experience that some day, but not likely since I stick to construction projects, the woods and fields, but who knows!

    Having hunted with Rick I can say that he is the pirates . His passion for water detecting is truly inspiring and he will hunt anywhere, anytime, under any conditions.
