How would you like to swing your MD in that old graveyard in the center of town for a few minutes... those old headstones and markers are awesome...

Graves from the 1700's... I bet there are coins well over 350 years old in there... from there you could head down to the old slave market and pop up a few slave tags...

Did you check out Fort Moultrie?

Nice post and pictures.

So was beach detecting a lot different than at home? How were your detectors doing near the salt water? I was just wondering cuz I'm going to the Outer Banks in July. I'm taking the DFX maybe the Prizm, too.
