Myrtle, Should I Wear a Girdle?

[Higgy]

Well its all said and done. Wife booked us a hotel in Myrtle Beach, along with flights and rental car. This trip is for February. Can anyone give me some advice? I'll be buying a Tesoro Sand Shark sometime between now and then. I would have purchased a CZ21, but I spent way to much on rebuilding one of my tractors recently, and I need to recover a bit from the sticker shock, lol.

Anyway, are any of you fine folks familiar with detecting Myrtle Beach?

February!!?? Probably be a good idea to change your bookings for the Bahamas for that time of year!

I spent 6 hours on the beach in Myrtle today. 1.28 in clad and some small jewelry pieces, all junk. Almost all from dry sand with a 50-50 split in time.

Myrtle is heavily hunted at all times of the year.

That said being from Northeast Ohio I can think of hundreds of worse things.

Mmm, yeah gonna be cold.
Anywhere by the resorts/hotels.
Low tides...and look for the "cuts".
Shells... pockets and areas with tons of shells.

The cold won't be bothering me. I'm the guy who wears a tee shirt outside year round. Of course I wear a jacket... I'm not Superman! But I did walk the 200 ft out to the mailbox in my tee and flip-flops today. It was 22F here this afternoon, and winds were whipping around pretty good. Myrtle Beach will be heavenly. Its 48F at the beach right now as I write this. Heatwave!

Thanks for the advice on the beach though. Any MDing will be a good time. If I find a clad quarter - even better!

The last time I was there I had more luck at the high tide mark, including one really nice silver ring!

Excellent! After I detect the beach, I will get to the choppah!

Go out during low tide and hit the cuts and pools you find with the hard packed bottoms. I found a nice ankle bracelet and a wedding ring there on vacation last year. Good luck!

Gonna get me a new Stealth to break in while I'm there! Gonna eat like a pig, drink like a fool, and detect like a hung-over madman!
