Newbie hunting the 1715 beaches

[I've got the bug]

Hi everyone,

I'm fairly green when it comes to hunting and I'm looking for advice from those who have been hunting longer than I have.

I live on the west coast of Florida and will be making a two day trip to Sebastian before heading down to the keys. My primary purpose for staying in Sebastian is to hunt the beaches.

I've done a bit of research on the best beaches to detect such as Bonsteel, Wabasso, Ambersands, treasure shores beach access, etc. I know my research will help and I know my chances of finding something is slim at best (the hunt is the best part anyway), but I was hoping to get advice on other beaches/best place to hunt on those beaches and what to look for when hunting (black sand, cuts, etc.)

Thank you in advance!

The beaches you mention are well known and get pounded. If somebody has found an unknown productive beach, they sure as he11 aren't going to share it with anybody, and certainly not on the internet. Would you?

Get out and explore. Don't be afraid to try new beaches. That is how you find treasure.

lol I see your point. I will definitely try some of the beaches not mentioned, the ones that haven't been hunted to death.

Hopefully someone will have some advice at least on what to look for i.e. cuts, shell deposits, places to do my own research.

Thanks for the reply Boatlode!

Save your money for when the next big storm or storms takes 15 to 20 feet of sand of the beaches then go look for treasure.

Google "treasure beaches report"

What jolly told you to Google will help. I live on the treasure coast and frequent vero and ft pierce beaches often,my advice is find a popular entrance and walk miles aways from it...then again I never find artifacts so maybe Iam doing it wrong.

Thank you guys for all of the input. I really appreciate it!

I've been visiting/searching the treasure beaches report for a few weeks. It's definitely a great site.
