Hi, I am in Hattiesburg, MS and am just getting started metal detecting. Are there any public place on the coast to hunt other than the beach ?

I am a newbie to metal detecting and also live on the coast. I sure would love to meet other locals who are interested in getting together at times and MD'ing together. Maybe I'll learn some good tips and I'll finally start finding stuff!

Hey, im not real familiar with Long Beach. Lived here all my life, but just don't goto Long Beach very often, and have never hunted there.
I do know there is lots of history in that area. You may want to look at google earth, and look for parks, etc in that area, or just google Long beach and the surrounding area. There is also the beach. I heard Jean Lafitte had his men stationed at Cat Island for a while, and Cat is just south of Long Beach. You wont be able to make it to Cat without a boat, but there is the possibility of something good washing ashore onto the beaches. I would suggest google earth, then once you make it here ride around and look at some of those areas. If nothing pans out, goto the beach. I recommend hunting early or late in the evening, because the heat is here. Also pack some bug spray, because the bugs are getting bad.

Its all about Location. It doesn't take a hi-dollar machine to find stuff, its all about location and research.
This site is an invaluable place to learn about detecting. Read, Read, Read.
If you are new and just learning. The best thing to do is goto target rich environments, dig everything, and learn your machine.
I would suggest the beach.
Im sure you have heard this a lot, but be very careful digging your holes in public areas and yards.
A lot of people have a negative attitude towards detectorists, because some people destroy lawns, or do not fill their holes properly. Im not trying to preach, just giving advice.
The best target rich areas to learn are the beaches, digging is easy, and they are constantly replenishing themselves with targets.
Also you may want to get a sand scoop, it is nice using these, because you don't have to do a lot of bending over, kneeling, or squatting.
HH and keep on plugging.
