West Virginia<\/strong><\/p>\n I use a kayak to go in rivers and creeks for the purpose of relic hunting for Civil War and Colonial era artifacts with a waterproof metal detector. My interest in a Wavewalk was primarily so that I could use a small gasoline motor in order to get to more remote areas that are too far to reach by paddling. I have everything rigged up and ready. I made a short test run over the weekend and it went upstream very quickly in a fast current. The rivers here are all high right now but as soon as they come down, I\u2019ll take it out and get some video and photos on the water.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\nI make videos of my adventures and publish them on my YouTube channel<\/strong><\/a>. I find items such as Civil War cannonballs, bullets, a colonial era shoe buckle, and sometime I get wildlife footage such as a black bear crossing the river.<\/p>\n
\nI have a \u201cSwamp Runner Mini\u201d long tail rig with a 3 HP motor that I thought would couple nicely with the W500. I was looking for a lower-cost alternative to a Mokai.
\nI found a sand-colored one with Joe Stauder, Wavewalk’s dealer in PA<\/a>, and I drove up there to pick it up.<\/p>\n
