    Tommy Buckets here at long last

    Hi all, Some of you know me from tnet, the OCMD, Seaside NJ or Venice beach Ca. or Md Freestate club. With an excal in hand I look like everyone else at the beach but if you saw a guy playing drums on a large set of plastic buckets in the past 20 yrs that was me. I'm the skinny white guy. I...

    This is the way you do it!

    Love this guy and his invention. When he gets a target he lowers a iron rod that marks the spot. Then after he has gone up and down a stretch of beach goes back and hunts those spots. and there is more for only $19.99 you can see the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJnd8Ua7UxM

    Trash on the Beach

    So everyone who metal detects on popular beaches and some not so popular beaches is bound to find loads of trash. We all know this. Beer bottle caps (or drinking patches as I like to call them), soda can pull tabs, soda CANS, snack lids, vape cigarettes...and on and on. Recently, as in this...

    Learning to read beaches

    If you live within 2 hours from a beach and want to beach hunt please do yourself a favor and learn how to read beaches. Even if you just go to a beach once a year for 3-5 days on vacation learn to read beaches. It will improve your find rate by a factor of 10x or more. As an example there is...

    can you make a living metal detecting?

    Yes, if you can do what professional beach hunters do. There is no other form of metal detecting where the supply of good targets is getting replenished daily. The only other areas that I may include is serious civil war relic hunting. But those finds are getting fewer and fewer as time passes...

    question about swing

    I always read that you swing low to ground or sand and an even swing, not an arch. this post was based on inaccurate information on my part. please ignore. I cannot find out how to delete it.

    eTrac Beach Cart

    Got this idea from my friend Marcos and decided to build one this weekend.

Used foam pipe wrap to widen the tires and...

    Waders... What do you use in the Fall/Winter

    I'm looking at getting some waders so I can actually get in the water or wet sand and not have to worry about a wider flooding the boots I use right now. The boots I have are water proof but they are not tall at all so any rush of water will come over the top and thus end my hunting day. I...
