Hello all. I want to preface this post by saying I’m still a newbie when it comes to this site, as well as metal detecting in general...
I’m going on a 2-3 month vacation next spring to either the Outer Banks, NC or Florida. I plan on spending my time beach/shallow water hunting, fishing, and relaxing. I’m still working on all the trip details (I’m basically in the research/planning stage lol), but I have taken the first big step by upgrading my AT pro to a CTX 3030. I had planned on making this a solo trip (none of my friends can take that much time away from work or family), but I’m wondering if anyone on treasurenet might be interested in joining me? I’m either gonna get a travel trailer to stay in or rent a cabin at an RV park.
I’m divorced and my youngest son just graduated high school and starts college this fall, so for the first time since becoming a father 21 years ago, I have the time to travel for more than a week or two at a time. I would have a good time going solo, but it would be cool to have someone interested in metal detecting and fishing to hang with.
In the meantime, I’ve got time to learn the CTX 3030 and plan the trip. I would love some advice or tips from any of you more experienced diggers out there.... best beach to hunt, lodging advice (travel trailer vs cabin), CTX beach tips, etc.
I’m really looking forward to this trip. My oldest son is gonna house sit for me while I’m gone, but I may end up just staying for good. The idea of having the ocean, beaches, and saltwater fishing within minutes of my home sounds like a dream come true to me.
