I am in Chesapeake, but I am also very new to the hobby so don’t really have any advice to dole out, but I would love to meet some people as well.
I contacted one of the local clubs here with some questions as to fee's and the benefits of actually joining a club but never got a response.
I have hit up VA Beach a few times found a couple of junk rings and some change, a lot less clad then I thought I would be finding.
I went to Sandbridge this weekend, but I didnt have much luck. 3x copper bulet caseings, small amount of change.
I usually stick to the dry sand since I have yet to get my Fisher F4 to work well in the wet.
One spot I would like to check out further is that new trail they made by closing like 10 miles of the 17 down next to the dismal swamp waterway. I know there are some Civil war trails in that area. I went over there once but it started raining after like 30 mins and all I had pulled was some recent clad and lots of 70’s style pull tabs lol.
If you want to hook up sometime and do the buddy hunting thing im game, just drop me a PM
I know there is a user on these boards that named Night Hawk that does alot of beach hunting in our area, he might be able to provide some advice. Im sure there are others too.
