Sorry I didn't see this sooner but I haven't been detecting, or checked this site in quite awhile (obviously...lol) I live in Bradenton and have hunted Bradenton Beach, Holmes Beach, and Coquina quite a bit (not in awhile though) I have an ACE 250 and I really haven't been that super lucky at the area beaches although I did find a nice little 14 kt ring at Coquina Beach right at the waters edge directly in front of the snack bar when I first moved to Florida just over a year ago. The funny thing about it was that it was literally my first day detecting down here and it was my first find! I found the ring before I even found any trash!
