  • @hconnellraate2474
    @hconnellraate2474 Рік тому

    Thanks for the question. The answer, most times. ALL STATE PARKS REQUIRE a permit, and worst of all each region issues their own. Here is CNY we need a permit for CENTRAL, ($10), FINGER LAKES ($15) and then St. LAWRENCE ($10), and then the permit is only good on the beach ( water and dry sand only) between the Tuesday after labor day until May 15th. Permits run from Jan 1st thru Dec 31st, so that requires that you need to purchase another permit in the spring of the following year, but then you have your permit for the fall searching. The Onondaga County parks (Oneida Shores & Jamesville Beach) also require a permit but there is no charge for the permit. I only know of one beach that is OPEN year around and free and that is Sylvan Beach. Good luck with your searches. There are LOTS of us using detectors around CNY so if you ever need some help, just ask, even someone that you meet on the beach. Connell

      Yes, that sounds good. The big problem right now is that most of the beaches are closed to MD, and between Penny and myself Sylvan beach has been pretty well picked over. If someone else does not get onto the beach until sometime after Labor Day, then we would go back again this year. Anyway send me your phone number and we can talk and make plans for a hunt somewhere. Connell

    • @hconnellraate2474
      @hconnellraate2474 2 роки тому

      I have found needles on a few beaches but the worst was on the "local beaches"in Hawaii. It seems that the local's can only be on the beaches at night IF they are fishing. So the locals bring a fishing pole and a sand spike, but no bait. Then they put the sand spike into the sand, cast the line out with a sinker but no bait, start a fire and then smoke their Maui whowi ( marijuana ) On those beaches if you run your MD you will find LOTS of nails (because the locals use old pallets), sinkers, and needles. But sadly, no bling. I did not find any needles on the resort beaches.

    Once charged the Excalibur I battery should be putting out 14.4volts and will stop working when it runs down to 11.4 volts and then requires charging again. It is also a good idea to completely drain the battery at least once a year. I made up a fitting with a light globe and leave it on overnight then recharge from their. Thank you for your info. I’ll have to see if those replacement batteries are available in Australia. GLHH.

    • @hconnellraate2474
      @hconnellraate2474 3 роки тому

      Thanks Relic for the kind words. Yes I agree, do discharge the battery at least once a year, and as far as being able to get the battery pack replacement in Australia, Maxxpacks is a Canadian company and ships to the US, so getting one to you should be not much of a problem.
