Just wanted to say hi

[Dale1122]

I'm new to this site and just wanted to say hi. I live in Sebastian Florida and have decided to give MDing a try. I will probably buy a Tigershark this week, although I'm open to suggestions. The Tigershark is within my budget and I plan to mostly detect on the beach, however i dive and this gives me the option of diving and still using the detector inland.

Could someone explain the rules or provide a link for detecting in the Sebastian area along the shoreline etc. I know I can get in trouble for diving with a detector in the ocean but I can't find the rules on where the restricted areas begin and end etc.

One other thing, It looks like the Tesoro Tigershark is the same price everywhere, is there any reason or recommendation on which company I should purchase from?

Thanks
Dale

Hi Dale,

Welcome to TreasureNet.

Don't know a thing about beaches or diving, but check out the forums that are specific to those things, or the forum for Florida - I'll bet there is a lot of information in those forums that will be helpful to you.

Welcome Dale.You should be fine along the beach except for in the state parks,in which you have to obtain permission from the park manager.For hunting in the water,here is a link that lists the Fisher lease sites coordinates,where you cannot dive for treasure.I hope this helps-http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,52048.0.html.You might want to ask around in the "beach and shallow water" forum or in the "shipwrecks" forum,there are other water sites that are off limits,i'm just not sure of all of them.Did you know they have started to dredge the Sebastian river?

I have seen that they are dredging the Sebastian river, I have a boat and get out there often. I may try to see where they are dropping all that nasty silt and run a MD thru it provided it is in a legal area. . Im not sure if they have started the new Inlet to ICW channel yet but that should be underway soon.

I'll give you the links that provide that info. The first one is what I read,the second one is something I just found yesterday on this site and don't know how true it is,although i'd like to know if it is.Maybe you could check it out. Here you go-http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,63940.0.html and http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,76458.0.html-scroll down to reply number 8.

I did post what info I have on that topic, going out there in the boat this afternoon, Ill check these dredges and report back.

Checking out the dredging in Sebastian today. They are currently pumping sand onto the beach south of the inlet from the sand trap inside the inlet but they haven't started the channel from the inlet to the ICW yet.

From the US 1 bridge I couldn't see the dredging operation going on in the Sebastian River,I didn't take the boat up past the bridge so they must still be dredging west of the railroad bridge.
