RINGS JUMPING IN MY SCOOP is what I expected after reading all the posts about hurricane treasure. However, I quickly learned that reading a beach that was hit by a hurricane is much different than normal beach conditions.
I spent the first 90 mins digging nails, screws and street signs. Then I moved to a different location and found what is shown in the pics below. The interesting thing is some areas are heavily laden with trash, while others have coins sitting on top of the sand.
The mystery piece is dainty but hefty. It is also stamped "08". Any ideas what that means?
FWIW, I see beach cams and social media posts of the popular beaches being hit around the clock by detectorists. The night I found these targets I was next to a guy with a CTX and two others with PI's. No doubt there are some good targets being found. But, if you are sitting behind a computer, frustrated that you can't hunt the Florida coast right now....don't be. It is still a lot of work, perhaps more so with all the competition.
