Winter Beach Detecting in NE

ThatGuyAgain said:

I’m planning on giving up on detecting the land over the winter since it freezes solid near me (Massachusetts). What kind of luck have people had working the beaches over the winter? There aren’t any crowds to drop things in the dry sand, but I figure the low tides might still be fruitful.

It's sure worth a try but my one piece of advice is be very careful if you get into the water is to keep a careful watch on your body temp. Hypothermia can sneak up on you very quickly. I have friends that scuba dive up north and that is their primary concern.

The beaches in the Northeast are ripe for the pickings during the winter months. You're goal is to find erosion from the winter storms which can uncover targets that have been lost for decades. Easier said then done though. You can still hunt inland here In the winter, just have to stick to the woods where there is plenty of fallen foliage. This insulates the ground, and it does not freeze. It's the snow that usually puts an end to dirt hunting for me. Good luck out there!
