Hello everyone and thank you for having me. I ordered a new Ace 250 with the Rhino (6x9" coil, i think this is the size). I have always wanted to do this and can't wait to start. Is there anyone here locally in the Apopka, FL area or anywhere in Central florida who I could join on a hunt? I don't need any help with the detector, just would be nice to go with someone else or a group. Also are there any books I can buy that will give me some ideas on places to hunt in my area? Thank you for helping the newbie

Seth, welcome to the forum. Winter Springs, Fl. just east of you is the home of the K-STORE. Your area should be a hotbed for MDers You might want to check around your area for a club. Join one and take it from there................Gil

Hi Seth, I'm new in the forum and sometimes i go to New Smyrna, Daytona or Ormond Beach for hunting in the dry/wet sand. You can use the ACE250 on dry sand. I use a Garrett Sea Hunter MarkII. I live in Deltona and always looking for hunting buddies...Ricardo

You may wish to check out the Florida Metal Detecting Club at http://www.geocities.com/g8r81/cfmdc.html. They meet once a month and I am sure you will find plenty of people that will be glad to go with you along with the volunteers that are already posting. Good luck!!

I'm not from Florida, but we vacation down there. I plan on bringing my metal detector with me the next time we head down there. We might have to meet up.

Good luck in your hunts

Here ya go Jeff....drive just a bit further south to Gaspirilla Island, named after a pirate. You might find some old spanish coin here, they say there is still buried treasure in this area of Floridas Gold Coast. Look it up! This island is the north side of boca grand pass. Also do some web searches on Port Charllote. Cayo Casta Park on the opposite side of the pass has miles of beach, but you need a boat to get there. It is legal to detect the state park beaches from the toe of the dune to the mean low tide mark.
