    Old Orchard Beach?? I bet is was REAL cold and windy!! Wow I'm surprised your machine worked. It must have been cold. Great that you got out and even scored a silver Roosy. I've been up there in March and the winds were unbearable

    Nice! After a storm like we just had, some of that sand was moved around.
    I wonder how Ferry Beach/Camp Ellis made out. Streets were flooded there last night and the waves were wild!

    I thought about you today.... wondered if you'd brave it and try Ferry Beach/Camp Ellis.
    At least you made a buck! We'll hook up with you at a beach this winter, hopefully. January thaw isn't too far away.

    Just a mention...
    Sometimes (few times a year) we, up here in Maine, hafta resort to a (long) drive to satisfy the craving, and that (to Snowy and I, anyway) means tolls, a 2-and-a-half-hour drive (one way) to even get to the salt water.
    We usually don't find stuff like the Flueman does, but it does relieve the pressure occasionally.

    Amazing... no way I would be hunting OOB in the winter. Used to live in Biddeford/Saco area, so I know what it is like. Well, I hate the cold anyway. More power to you.. HH RickO

    Metal detecting Maine is colecting pulltabs for charity so I decided to go to a beach and get a bunch spent a half hr. detecting for pull tabs and only got one all i could find was chad. I think i have been detecting wrong all these years instead of looking for coins i should have been looking for pull tabs. rofl
