San Diego

I will be spending a week in San Diego. Plan to spend most of it at the beach swinging the Etrac. It will be a nice change from the hard packed AZ digging I'm used to.

Any hints for a neophyte beach hunter is appreciated.

Some times that perfect 24 on the DFX isn't a pull tab...

Day 1 - Spent the day at Imperial Beach by the pier. Hunted hard, came away with a some nasty pennies and assorted junk and weights.

It was a beautiful day, I had a great time. Plan to move north up the coast and keep hunting.

WHICH BEACHES ARE THE BUSIEST??

[RickO]

Cannot help with the 'busy' information, suggest you ask some locals. HH RickO

Thanks RickO. I'll just hit as many beaches as I can this week and have fun.

Day 2 - Pacific Beach today. 4 hour hunt. 49 cents and a pocket of junk. Had a good time, still looking for my first piece of jewelry.

You might try Carlsbad. I only hunted there once and it seemed promising but I never made it back. It's not far north of you. Good luck!

Pacific Beach, then hit Millers Field for a cold one when you're done.

Third trip to the beach. La Jolla Shores today. About $3 in clad, a 1946 wheatie in the grass above the beach and a gold colored butterfly with about 30 clear stones. Really shiny and looks good, but I suspect it is a kids trinket.

My camera does not have a macro setting.

Nice job, keep at it and keep us posted! It's cool to hear the reports...
