Great find!

Which beach, may I ask?
I used to live there before I got into this hobby.
Still kicking myself about that.
I know Clearwater and all the beaches up and down A1A are the main ones, but I always thought Ben T. Davis beach on the causeway might hold more great jewelry than many suspect.
It is more of a working man's beach but it actually gets tons of visitors.
Free parking, too.
Also the water is very shallow going way out from the beach so there could be great targets everywhere.
Plus, that shallow water is a great place to hunt for blue crabs.....hmmmm.

Yep. Remember that! It's not the detector, it's the hand behind it!

Many happy returns!
