I wish I had better news to report to everyone on this topic . . . but I was on vacation in Jamaica, so I'll try to not whine too much! 
I went with my wife and daughter to Beaches Boscobel last Saturday for a week and man was it ever great to get away from winter here in Canada!
I woke up every morning at 5:45 and was down on the beach by 6am. It was extremely peaceful at that time of day, there was hardly anybody around and I got to see the sun come up! This beach was extremely trashy, maybe only 6 - 8 inches of sand on top with about 12" of rocks/sand beneath. I found a lot of scrap iron of all descriptions, nails, aluminum fruit cans and of course beer caps . . . oooooooooh so many beer caps!
The only things I managed to find of interest were 3 Lincoln Memorials and a button from a pair of jeans! Though I did leave Jamaica with the satisfaction of knowing that I probably saved a lot of people from getting a rusty nail stuck in their foot!
Happy Hunting to all this spring!

I couldn't resist posting the last three pics . . . my wife took them after I'd had one too many Red Stripes! In the last pic I'm doing a bit of detecting without my ACE 350!

lol! I got pretty burned most days even though I reapplied the sunscreen regularly. Of course while sitting at the poolbar I didn't always feel like getting up . . . if you know what I mean! 
Of course I wouldn't call them "nice", I'd say they're better than all the scrap I pulled out of that beach! 
We're thinking of going to go to Beaches Turks & Caicos in two years and you can bet I'll be taking my detector there as well! Here's a shot of the beach in Turks.
