Welcome to the forum. No dumb questions here, just dumb answers! The group here is excellent and I am sure you will find lots of great info.

You can work the area from the base of the dune line to the mean low water mark. Basically don't take your detector in the water in the lease areas. I was just down there two weeks ago and the beaches had a lot of sand on them from the re-nourishment projects. I detected a few specific areas for a little while with no success. You will need to wait until a storm comes through and makes a cut on the beach to possibly reveal some treasures.

Good Luck, you still may find something along the water line. Let us know if you have any success!

The feds dumped about 10 feet of sand on all those beaches.best to wait till after the next big hurricane to wash it all away.then you will have better luck finding the old stuff.right now all you will find is modern trash.unless you happen to have a bull dozer or back hoe to dig very deep.

Wait until after a good storm comes through. You can stop by Fishers Museum in Sebastian and pick up a little manual that will give you exact directions to each of the beaches or do a little research on line. Everyone has their techniques with the MD. I like to work from the base of the dune line out about 6/8 feet (don't disturb the Sea Grapes or any Turtle Nests or the local residents will be on you). I also like to work the water line (but not out in the water unless you have a contract). Green Turtle, The Cabin, and Chucks are my favorites but a long walk up to Round House can be really nice after a good storm.
