I might just take you up on that! My wife is letting me have at least 2 days to play around in the sand and I want to make the most of it. What's the best time to hit the beaches? Do the run beach-cleaners up and down Daytona, do you know?S.S.Tupperware said:
Well, at least I'll have plenty of beeps to chase, right?S.S.Tupperware said:

I just got back from a mini-trip down to Lake Travis in Austin, came away with some goodies form the shore; a little gold, decent amount of silver.
What does an average day of hunting consist of in your experience, Tupp?
This may be a dumb question, coming from a guy that lives in the desert, but when is low tide?Treasure_Hunter said:af1733 said:Well, at least I'll have plenty of beeps to chase, right?S.S.Tupperware said:

Lately a lot of sand......By the time you come there is a chance of fresh drops, water will be warmer so you might get lucky...I am taking the day after Memorial Day to hunt.....
If possible try to hunt the out going tide, maybe 2-4 hours before low tide, you will more time to hunt the wet sand, once it is low tide it starts coming in prety fast....

Tides changed every day as the lunar cycle advances....There are many tide websites below are a couple I use....
The first one you can change the site to any beach in the world you want and can search up to a year in advace if you want to plan vacations hunting.

This is Magic Seaweed, you can pick any beach location in the world, it also gives the height of the surf which is nice.....
