Early Beach Trip Planned

[Jay In NewKen]

I'm excited to plan an early beach trip next week to Myrtle. Since i mainly swing in dirt, the beach is a nice change of pace.

The tide charts still confuse me some, but i plan on just hitting the slope and enjoy my time.

I don't have the best scoop so is it worth taking a small garden trowel?

I would think a garden trowel along with your Propointer would work.

Sand in Myrtle beach can be deep - If you have time, buy the book Gold Beneath the Waves from Amazon. It's a great beach hunting book, and was written by a very seasoned beach hunter in the Myrtle Beach area.

Thanks for the tip SusanMN. I was debating on taking the pro pointer for fear it would end up in the ocean with my luck.

Wayne- thanks for the book idea. Def need a good read while I wait to swing the coil.

Leave your pp behind if you plan to detect in the surf. You also need a sand scoop if you plan on digging in the wet sand near the surf. Your hole will fill in on itself quickly as you dig . I recommend an aluminum scoop. I got a stainless and its ridiculous heavy (even thought its one of the lightest made). If you hunt the dry sand, all you need is a hand trowel and pp as Susan recommended.
