beach detecting

Well i finally got around to hitting the beach up this weekend. i am way more interested in historical items. But with the proximity of the fort being so close, i thought what the heck. It could be the best of both worlds. Since the state wont let me metal detect any where inside the historic...

Found my first MSD. Was on the beach in an area known historically for fishing docks and likely a Chinese shrimp camp. My guess it was dropped from the docks into the sand or water. Carson City mint mark. What should I do with it? What do you think it's worth in this grade?

Hi Everyone, New to beach detecting, some vets tell me a lot of stuff is in the wet. Some say that they dry is where it's at. I guess it depends? Where do you have the most luck? - Submerged detecting 2-3 feet -Wet Sand - Dry sand ??

Please help with identification I found this yesterday while beach detecting. I already posted about this, but here are some new photos after cleaning

Found this today while metal detecting, I can't find anything about it. Any help would be appreciated

My third platinum ring

it's not always about what you find it's about Getting out and teaching the younger generation the hobby. Thanks for watching the video I hope you enjoyed it Jeff

Would really like to hunt some of the RI beaches from now until Memorial Day, both in & out of the water. Was in South Kingstown yesterday at the Penguin Hunt sponsored by Awesome Relics New England and had a great time. I noticed police patroling the parking lot during the hunt and the gates...

Yesterday, I took my father-in-law out for some beach metal detecting. While he had been out with us to a beach before, he has never done the detecting and digging himself. Call it beginners luck, but he found more coins than I did. It was also the first day on my new CORS Strike coil that I...

I've got a suggestion for all of you beach hunters. I thought I know how to and where to until I watched the Dankowski Beach and Swimming Hole Hunting video. I've refined my entire game with this dvd. Anyone else watched and done the same ? Got any comments, suggestions or tips to add ?

Hey guys this post may be a bit unique as I’m going to Bali for a long stint coming up in 2018 and will be bring my CTX to hunt those lush beaches. However, I’m not as passionate about beach hunting as I am relic hunting and I’m not sure what I might discover in Bali deep in the Indonesian...

Hello ladies and gentlemen! It's been a while since I have posted/been on the forum but sure glad to be back. My father and I went to Sandbridge Beach down in Virginia Beach for a about two and a half hours to do some hunting. We were hoping that Hurricane Maria washed up some goodies. And...

Sorry if this question has been discussed in other threads--I looked, but couldn't find exactly what I am after. I have owned a CTX 3030 for about three years, using it for land and out-of-water beach use. I am interested in getting into shallow ocean detecting, in water about chest deep. My...

Hey Now Folks. I have been considering the purchase of an submersible detector. I plan to hunt the beach quite a bit but will probably use it in fresh water as well and possibly in extreme mineralized areas. So my question are this. I am leaning towards P.I. because these machines have a...

I am making a trip to the beach soon and I always detect and find some cool irons pieces. But this time I will still detect but I would like to try magnet fishing from the shore. Have any of you tried this at the beach, and do you think that their will be stuff out there to find?

Hit the beautiful sandy beaches of the emerald coast of Florida for my first hunt this morning. Can't complain after 45 mins I did my part in cleaning up the beaches of about 25-30 pop tops and other trash. Did find a nice gold chain and butter knife. Who the heck takes a butter knife to the...

Just checking on the rules, if any, regarding beach detecting in Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties. I was very active a few years ago and worked the public beaches on both ends of the Courtney Campbell Causeway. I just wanted to make sure you could still detect in those areas.

so this is my second hunt with a fisher gold bug at the beach (dry and wet sand). what i can say is that the machine do pretty well and i have been rewarded with some lovely old and new Chinese coins. for the video hope you like it and next time i will try to be more organised. cheers

This was from one month ago when I visited Carmel, CA for the weekend. I hunted for 2 days at least one hour or more each time using my Tesaro Compadre which I use on dry sand only. It gives too many false signals for me on the wet sand. I am posting this as there are not many posts from...

Hi, I have been metal detecting for about 4 months now. This is my first post. I live in Northern California and use the Tesaro Compadre. Detector. I love it because it is light and easy for beginners -- I always find something with it. I may need to trade up though because I can't seem to get...

Hey everyone: I'm a day away from my Caribbean vacation and will be bringing my new Garrett Sea Hunter MK2 with me along with my stainless steel travel scoop. A buddy of mine actually went to the same resort a week ago and said that a local had a water detector set up for diving (short...

A look back at 2013 and some great finds with some other things mixed in. This video includes a live beach dig.

Hello all. I will be receiving my new Garrett AT Pro in a day or two and I am very excited to get out and give it a try. I have been researching FL laws on the net and I see that FL has numerous. Hopefully someone here can help clarify. I live on Hutchison Island in Jensen Beach on the...

Hello everyone, name is Bill, First I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I live in the Space Coast area of Florida just across A1A from the beach. Just my wife and I and our two kids (the kind that walk on all fours and have problems enounciating). So far I have only been...

What is the craziest or funniest thing anyone has ever told you while detecting? Once in chicago a kid (like 7 years old, i'm 13) said hey you aint gonna find nothin here. I just smiled and said sure. 15 min later I found a 14k gold earring!

I am asking this question here as I asked this question on the white's forum in the talk to whites area and for some reason it got removed? I do not understand why but maybe some one here could help me. I live in AZ and going to move somewhere back south-southeast not sure where could be...

Dug today at about an hour before low tide. best find of the day. other stuff includes a knife, some clad, bat mobile little car, a co2 cartrige and my surf pro made a sound i have never heard before, kinda a dull whine, turns out it was a magnet lol. the pendent has a no clasp stainless chain...

Found my first ring yesterday! it was in the "grandma" zone at low tide, dug at about 8" it has a 925 sterling silver stamp on the band, not sure if the diamond is real or not but will have it appraised. my thoughts are that its real only because the setting is heavy duty and would they put a...

New to metal detecting, but I have been doing allot of investigation into my first purchase. I am debating between a Minelab E-TRAC Metal Detector and a Minelab Excalibur II Metal Detector. I have an ocean condo on Florida's east coast and will be detecting mainly in the sand and shallow...
