I'm not a local but If I were going to be there I would be on the bay side in the water. You will need waders and some dry gloves. Water temps should be in the 60's soon.

Should be some hx around if you can access it. HH

Thx OBN, didn’t come prepared for that. Besides, I’m a Floridian, don’t handle cold very well.����

hx?

hx?

Hx = history abbreviation. Not sure why I typed it tho... must have flashed back to medic report days before iPads. Happy Hunting

Back in ancient times when I lived there (early 1970's) I had good success at Dam Neck if you're ocean hunting and can get on the base there.......and at Ocean View on Chesapeake Bay by where the old Amusement Park was. I used to live just down the street right on the beach. I can get you an address of where a navy plane crashed in the shallow water (almost in my back yard!) if you want to find plane parts, of, If you want to avoid that area!

Thx to all for the suggestions. Should be at one these locales tomorrow or Tuesday. Thx again!

Hit Ocean View yesterday morning. Quarter, dime, 4 pennies, toy car, and a spoon. Will try Virginia Beach tomorrow, possibly Dam Neck

Just need to do a door knock a farm house and see if a permission could be had to play in some red dirt. Never know in this game what will be found.

"Hello-I'm thinking that you've been asked a 1000 times before-but do know of the history of your fields"?
"WHY"?
"Just in visiting family and need some playtime in the dirt".................
