beach

Massachusetts tidal area i.e. high tide mark to median low / extreme low tide water is very confusing going back to the 1600s. If you are on the beach with no intent to fish or fowling or for “navigating” in this area and you are not in a vessel or swimming you are on privately owned land. You...

I hate to do it, but I am clearing out my stable of detectors and gear. I have too many closet-queens and I would rather they go to someone who will use them. Up for sale is my Whites Surfmaster PI metal detector. This detector was adjusted for optimal performance by "Mr. Bill", who used to be...

I want to use my Safari at the beach but I am curious are there certain things I should change from the standard default settings? How does the Safari handle black sand? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, My father is looking to buy a metal detector to use in beaches (salty water) in hopes of finding coins and jewelry. We live in Israel so it's sunny most of the time and humidity is relatively high, though most of the hunting will probably be conducted during the winter, which isn't very...

After spending the last 6 days in the madness of Chicago....I'm back detecting at my old copper culture beach, beautiful night with crystal clear water, loons calling and no city insanity. The junk. I met a dude last year on the beach that told me he lost his binoculars a few years ago...

Finally made it into the water today for the first time with the Excal II. Had a blast, got a bit sunburned and dodged a few jellyfish but had a great time. Made it to the beach a few times before that (dry sand only ) and was going through my coins only to find a 1954 nickel!!! Anyone know...

Hit the beach this morning just north of Las Olas in Ft. Lauderdale. Either this beach hasn't been MD'd for years, or our fellow MD'ers aren't picking up tabs and bottle caps!!! Naughty, Naughty:dontknow: Found about a thousand old and new bottle caps and enough pull tabs to fund Ronald McDonald...

Would you kindly help me identify this? Is it a Cob? Found a "cache" very encrusted "coins" stuck to a rock. They were disguised. Local beach. Miami. Im happy as a lark, but try as I may I can't identify them:BangHead: they're all different; some very thick; some very large; some have an...

Hi I'm new to metal detecting and just got a Garrett Ace 350 and wanted to try it out on the beach. I'm aware of the basic setting modifications and suggestions from the manual but would like to know if anyone has any suggestions for beach use with this model from their own experience. I'm not...

I lost my ring at the beach yesterday evening and can show you the exact location. If anyone can help PLEASE respond. Venice Beach... REWARD IF FOUND!!! Thank you! Joe

Hi all...Water Newbie here who recently picked up a used Garrett XL500 Sea Hunter made in the 90s and I'm anxious to get out in the water and try it out! I've been dirt detecting off and on since the 1970s when my dad was stationed in Germany and started with an old Sears/Whites $19 detector...

Can you please advice me on a good detector for use on the beach and in sea in a heavily mineralized area? I have done a lot of reading, and in the beginning I thought the Garrett Infinium was a good choice as it looks deep on land and in sea, and has a balancing feature. However, this PI...

Took my AT Pro to the beach for the 2nd time ever. Found some crusty clad, a house key, 2 bullet casings, foil and pull tabs aaannnd I have no idea what this big thing is. Weighed about 100 Lbs. Completely rusted. Any ideas?

I have read a lot of forums and taken a lot of advice, but I just wanted to post one thread of my own to make my final decision on a purchase. I am looking to purchase a new metal detector to use in fresh water and during fresh water scuba diving. I live is Wisconsin and I have to drive a long...

Hello everyone, I found this item on the beach, near the Pacific. I believe I found 2 of these, but I can only find one at the moment. It registers as metallic, of course. Any thoughts in what it might be?

Anyone have any suggestions for keeping an accurate search grid when detecting in the water (like at the beach)? When I search at the beach, I head out several yards into the water then back towards shore. I then step over around six feet and repeat the process. I find it very difficult to keep...

I found this rok about 3 years ago on a beach in Ayr, Scotland. It has a few interesting layers within the rock and I'm looking for help to identify whats going on with it!

Well, I have been swinging my ATX for six months – 100+ hours in the salt waters of New England – and the following is my opinion of Garrett's newest AT Detector. I chimed in on the forum just after receiving my ATX for Christmas. There were many discussions and first impressions posted...

Keep your eyes down on the ground. I have found more coal then I need by doing this and a very good looking fossil. Hit the beaches after rain or a storm of any kind. Look for black or dark rocks. They could be coal or fossils and look for anything metal. This is a good time to find good shells...
