I know I do, but the problem is getting permission.. many promises and still nothing..been waiting 3 yrs now..basically gave up on that one ( on the hanging tree site).. so I been beach hunting with the xcal all year long, but my game plan is to learn the se and use it at the beaches as well as in the dirt. sooner or later someone will say yes.. Just am kinda gun shy after the scooter man.. omg I dont even wanna think about that one again. He just creeped me out big time, hee bee gee bees n all.

I live in North Jersey, Roselle to be exact. I mostly do beach hunting, went to long branch yesterday and found 1.50 and a nice silver ring. The wife is presently wearing it, fit her perfectly =)
I have done some land hunting but I'm having the age old issue of "where to go" since most places are off limits. I would be willing to travel to hunt some older farms or woods as I have the explorer se as well and the excalibur for the water.
Thanks for reading!

I'm new, sort of. I live in Roselle and I mostly hit the parks around here. Sometimes I'll hit playgrounds and I'm starting to hit some of the urban parks. I don't get out nearly as much as I like. It kinda stinks around here with all the restrictions and the ground is so trashy. All I can do is keep swinging away.

I'm in Brick (which is near Point Pleasant/Manasquan), not too far from Seaside. I just got my first MD last Friday (Sov GT) and will be beach hunting primarily.

I find that while I didn't intend it, by the time I get home from work, eat dinner, spend some time with the wife etc. I end up doing some MD'ing at the local beaches after dark. The area is pretty safe as there are fishermen in the area at night. But I would PREFER to MD with someone else - especially during these after-dark hunts. So if anyone is in my area and wants to meet up for a hunt (probably between hours of 8-10PM), please PM me here.

This week has been great light-wise due to the Full Moon but since I am so new I do spend time adjusting my machine settings, learning and everything else. Also, I realized the machine I bought came with the 8in coil which is a little on the small side for efficient beach hunting, but it'll be awhile before I can invest in a larger coil so I'll have to make due.

I am also unsure of the regulations in NJ regarding parks, playgrounds so I haven't tried these areas yet.

You don't find much because I was there first.... I still go to Roselle often enough to visit my friend and hit the schools and parks along St George Ave and other places there. :icon_thumleft: No great finds, but have gotten several nice pieces of silver jewelry :tongue3:

I am in Fanwood and brand new to the hobby. I am looking for help to figure out some places to detect that are legal. It would also be nice to have someone show me the ropes, thanks.
