Which resort did you stay at? I had a friend say that the staff at the resorts were hateful and unfriendly and they probably would not be going back..I was just at grand turk. The upper beach was sand but tapers off to coral bedrock quickly. In the water you will be better off with a mask and snorkel instead of a scoop. When you get a signal, fan with your foot. Lots of trapped metal in the pockets, I found quite a few corroded coins but no jewelery. I'm sure that its there though. Nobody cared that I was there detecting.
If they clear away the beach chairs when cruise ships arent docked that could be a goldmine because its impossible to do any hunting when the chairs are out, they packed edge to edge.
I always take my detector on vacation. Ive never had a single word said by ships security about my detector or my sand scoop.Jason did you bring your metal detector on the ship ?? Did they give you any crap ?? I might have gone with my wife if I thought I could metal detect those cruise ship stops.
Have any of you ever been? Thinking of taking the family in January there..
how did you like it?
Would you go back?
Can you md there?
Which one did you go to? Thanks!
It is illegal to metal detect in Turks and Caicos Islands without a permit from:
Ministry of Environment and Home Affairs Department of Environment and Maritime Affairs Lower Bight Road,
ProvidencialesTurks and Caicos Island Government......
..... I believe the laws are intended to protect historic sites and wrecks from professional search and salvage operations, but technically the laws apply to anyone using a detector anywhere in TCI.
