Detecting in the bay vs. in the ocean

[Crunchyhippo]

I've done 99% of my detecting at the beach. Only once or twice have I gone to the swimming areas at the bay. Clearwater Beach is massively over-detected, but I don't recall ever seeing anyone detecting at the bay near where I drive. Does anyone here ever bay detect, and if so, what kind of luck do you have compared to ocean detecting?

Yes find an old park on the bay start there in front could be a defunct beach you never know if you don’t go! GL🏴‍☠️

I do both. The ocean beaches get more visitors than the bays, but, I find both will produce good finds.
