SEPTEMBER CLUB HUNT

Metal Detecting Hobby Talk News Brief

Time for a road trip to South Beach on Saturday, Sept. 29.

before the crowds arrive, it will save us money on parking
since the meters do not have to be fed till 9 a.m. Usually after
the allotted time to hunt and tallies are done, brunch is
enjoyed at a local restaurant.
Our meeting place will be at Lummus Park at Ocean and 10th.
Take I-95 to Miami. Exit onto I-395, which will become 5th
Street. At Ocean Drive, turn left and proceed to 10th and Ocean
Drive. Parking will be on the right hand side of the street at the
curb. Be sure you park in a designated parking space.

articles that cover purchasing your first detector, detector
ergonomics, selecting a freshwater or saltwater beach
detector, using and selecting electronic pin-pointers, and
understanding your investment cost dealing with the metal
detecting hobby.
