I hunt the beaches a lot without headphones. Sometimes I just want to hear the beach sounds and/or the headphones get too hot on a real warm day. When the surf or wind is up, the headphones go back on so I can hear the tones. To each their own...

Funny that I found two of the exact same replicas on the beach of Jekyell Island a few weeks ago. The coins were crusty, but after a few tense looks, they were too uniform to be old. The coins were in the right spot, just the wrong age. :BangHead:
Vacationers from all over the world come to St Pete Beach to enjoy the sand & water. Many people come here to metal detect, which is a favored beach activity. The publicity from this video will not help the Tourist Industry in St Pete, as many metal detector hobbyists will find friendlier...
Moved to FL about 1 year ago and my hunting was fine using DEET 25%. Now it seems that DEET is just a NEON SIGN saying bite me. Plus the red ant welts... ANY SUGGESTIONS?:BangHead:
I found the same type shell, from the same armory, at the same beach about 3 months ago. The area was used for training during WW2 and these things show up every once in a while. When they dredge & replenish the sand the stuff comes in for us to find. I have been told there is even civil war...
Be careful hunting around railroad tracks... trespass laws come into play and the authorities might take a strong action against you. I remember reading a long time ago on this forum that a guy was metal detecting on a railroad right of way and the cops took his metal detector and fined him...
If she is planning on hunting in the salt surf it is a great machine... but understand that it will ID EVERYTHING including bobby pins and iron - and it will find it all deep. I love mine.
