    Hi everybody, I am new to the forum and to metal detecting. I will be moving around a bit from Indiana to Texas, Iowa and maybe Florida this year. I took a trip to Florida last month, did a little beach detecting and found this 925 necklace in the dry. The real find was a Minelab Quattro on...

    East coast or west coast of FL- Which is better beach hunting

    this was a question someone ask me. I told them every thing being equal like in front of a busy beach with expensive condo/hotels I would pick the east coast. Why? better wave action, currents, storms compared to the more placid gulf coast of Florida say from Destin to Panama City to Gulf...

    Hello from Florida

    I have lived here on the Treasure Coast of Florida since 1979. I have always had an interest in old Florida, shipwrecks, scuba diving, octopus, coinage, history, steampunk and treasure hunting. I manufactured the Retractable Lobster Net in the late 1980's and at one time walked into every dive...

    Hello from St Augustine, FL

    I am new to the forum. I live in St Augustine, FL only a couple hours north of the Treasure Coast. I have been detecting for about 50 years. I have had detectors that would barely detect a Sherman tank to the latest Garrett AT Max, with my sights on the CTX 3030. I have found tons of coins...

    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...

    Road trip DFW TX to South FL - first finds

    Quite recently had to go to South Florida for business. Decided to make it a road trip and planned for a couple of stops (mainly coastal Florida). Not only would I get to see more of this country, more importantly I'd pick up some MD time along the way. The latter for sure, since I'm a newbie...
