Night detecting... Insane

Until you walk upon a 8-9 ft. Mule in a field and all you can see is it's eyes...lol Been there...crapped myself

Night hunting is the only way to go on the beach. No sunburns and no pesky people to bother you every other step.

Damn where is that superlike button? Reason I like to IS because of the kids and no crowds. And all that other stuff in the OP.

You also have to be careful at night for "land sharks". Had a friend mugged at night at Daytona Beach, he ended up in hospital, a couple other TNet members were mugged at night in South Florida while hunting at night. I have my CCP and I always carry at night.

I love hunting in the dark in the water with a mask and snorkel. I have a very bright underwater 180 degree video light that lights up the entire area. I've been startled by manatee and seen a few sharks but for me it's just an awesome way to detect. I feel safer in the water than on land. Been doing it for years.

Night digging, never done it, never will.

I agree with Smokey.

Absolutely the best time to hunt saltwater. No crowds and as said before, night sky is a humbling experience. I also like night time kayak fishing for the same reasons.

I only hunt beaches after 10 when I get up, till almost sundown

I dont mind all the ladies following me, I feel safe

Night detecting in lakes can be fun as well. Especially when one needs to overcome several fears like getting caught lol.

Some of the more crowded beaches in Delaware are lit up at night by the lights from the boardwalks, so that's fairly safe. I don't see me getting in the water much past the knees at night. Almost drowned once going for a moonlight swim as a teenager (back in the pre-"Jaws" days) and getting into a rip current. One of those experiences is quite enough!

Love night detecting. Waves come at you out of nowhere, just gray masses that form in the darkness. Stars are intense and speckle the sky like overspray. No one else there to answer questions for. So relaxing...

Sounds perfect!

The one advantage to hunting beaches in the evening as opposed to morning is...

You have more chance of finding something that was dropped that day.

I don't go in the water. So day or night, it doesn't matter so much to me. Crowds? I ain't scared no crowd...
