For any beach, the towel line is easy pickins.

Invest in a solid sand scoop.
Like smokeythecat said, try the towel line first. It will have a variety of targets allowing you to learn what different things sound like (or where they appear on your visual meter/display if your detector has one).
Go slow while keeping your coil just above the sand and parallel to the ground. Most importantly, have fun!!!

You did not say what kind of detector you have, I have learned from others on this Forum that for "Salt Water" beaches, a "Full Band Detector", that is one with (Multi-Freq's) will work the best, Single Freq. detectors will often have a hard time trying to "Ground Balance" to the salt content. Nonetheless, give it a try, welcome to the hobby, and of course, Good Luck!

Are you still looking to detect in the area?
I was into detecting about 8 years ago and quit.
I started back and am trying to find some others that are detecting in the area.

Just moved to the NMB area has anyone been put lately? It's a nice day today thinking of finding a spot to hunt.

Myrtle Beach,, and points north and south are easy to detect on the sand. The weather in the area is a lot warmer than the NYC beaches that I hunted, especially in the winter. Stay on dry sand and your machine should be okay.
