  2. Beaches in Mass

    Does anyone have any experience with hunting beaches in Mass? For example the Plymouth area beaches (Long beach, White Horse Beach, even Duxbury Beach).

  3. ✅ SOLVED Dog tag like item Mrytle Beach, Sc

    Went to spring maid pier in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on staturday, and found out the beach was very well maintained or had been hunted very heavily.

  10. Newbie'ish looking for California beach detector advice. Sand Shark + AT pro vs cz21

    I've spent the last week reading TONS of posts and have some questions. I want a detector for California beaches. Probably only in wet sand and shallow water.

    So I exclusively hunt on beaches here in NY. I mainly get a lot of loose change, but I would like to get some rings now and then. My issue is that on the AT pro, the range for gold (50-60) is also the same range for pull tabs. As you can imagine, there are thousands of pull tabs on the beach...

  20. Now I Really Broke My Scoop

    Darn, I thought my scoop was in bad shape before now. After spending about 30 hrs digging in stones and sand the consistency of old cement the back side of my heavy duty aluminum scoop was caved in, making emptying it difficult. Unfortunately, my solutions really made things worse: I decided...
