My cousin lives in Southport, NC - about 30 (?) miles North of Myrtle.

I'm wondering the same thing - 5 hours one way for me, and haven't visited him in over a year.

Family is very important, and so is metal detecting.

In the past I've only gone about knee deep in that water, shark problems down there for several years. If I remember correctly it was only a couple years ago a swimmer was killed, and others were bitten as well. Haven't paid much attention to that lately.

Will the hurricane bring sharks closer in or further out? I know that question is quite reaching....

Depends where it lands. The last few storms around here have washed the sand away, leaving 6 foot high embankments along the dune side. The sand gets deposited in the beach side communities during the surge, and then sucks the beach away on the way out. A few of our Florida members posted some good finds after last years storms.

I am wondering the same for Maryland beaches. Sand is definitely moving around but that surf is too big and will get worse. I am watching and waiting.

Hard to say... Irma left us with sand piled higher than ever on the west FL coast : (

It all depends on the angle of the wind and surf.

Rule #1 at detecting camp. You don't show reporters what you find at detecting camp.

So what’s the verdict? 2 feet cuts or 2 feet of over burden?

 

[TORRERO]

Just walked around Surfside beach and Myrtle Beach South, I’m not going back.... maybe $1.00 in change in 3 hours

 

[TORRERO]

2 feet of overburden IMO

Amen to that, I'm on a party text line for several of the OC MD hunters. Gold is just about unseen this year. Maybe 7 golds for the summer for these guys...and they live right there...Sad because this use to be a great beach, for several years I would average 25 to 28 gold per year....no more.

 

[Tommybuckets]

OBN, part of the problem is the style of the times. The young people getting married are getting and losing tungsten and titanium rings. I was getting a ring a day but not gold anymore. The replenishment coupled with lots of new waterproof machines keeps the beach much cleaner than it used to be. Tough digs.
