Beach Huniting on the Outer Banks

[cryptodave]

cryptodave, DID YOU GET THE CHANCE TO CHECK OUT THE AREA ACROSS THE HWY FROM THE CURRITUCK COUNTY DSS BUILDING. THEY ARE CLEARING SOME LAND AND THE TIMBER IS IN PILES? I WANTED TO STOP, BUT HOME WAS CALLING......

I have my kids this weekend and I go that way on Sunday to drop them off to their mother. I plan on stopping on my way back and checking it out... However, with that said I don't expect to find much. I've got arial maps of that area from the late 30s and it was only trees then too.

I just moved to NC a bit ago and haven't been to the Outer Banks yet. If anyone is going out hunting in "ok to hunt" areas, maybe hook up for a hunt I am in New Bern, NC.

There is this man named "GUY" that lives between Williamston and Little Washington that is a treasure hunter for sure. If your arm gets tired, don't call him. This man never gives up. A great man to know and a friend to all.

I am not sure if he will give up any of his secrets, but he can cover more beach in one day than anyone I know.

Hi!
I've always wanted a metal detector, and about a week ago I broke down and got one!
I'm still waiting for it to arrive in the mail.
I live on the Outer Banks by Cape Lookout National Sea Shore.
So I have access to Beaufort, Harkers Island, Morehead City, Atlantic Beach & Surrounding areas.
Are those good places to detect?
Has anyone ever found anything good?
