oK, I've yet to go to the beach with my MD (Ace 250) and I need some pointers.
First off I have a few questions.
1) Where is the best place to hunt on the beach. My beaches won't have sand dunes or anything, and there most likely will be a lot of trash left over from construction, hurricanes, etc. Is it best in the upper dry sands or down closer to the waters edge? High Tide? Low Tide?
2) Tool/accessory recommendations? Is a pinpointer really needed on the beach? I have a cheap one, just wasn't sure I'd need it or not.
3) I am thinking of building my own long handled sand scoop, but from all the how-to's I've seen online, they don't say how large of a hole to drill in the actual scoop. Anyone have a say on that?
Thanks! Please advise if you have any other recommendations! Plan on going next Sunday if the weather holds out.
