Florida in July; 2-days; Which Beach?

Terry Soloman · Jun 23, 2011

I am going to fly to Florida :icon_sunny:

for two-days, and stay in a beach-side hotel to metal detect, eat and sleep for 48-hours. Third-Fourth week in July, where should I go? - Thanks!

Treasure coast perhaps?

Terry,

Probably the best beaches for finding stuff on a short stay would be the beaches of Miami/South Beach/Ft. Lauderdale and the beaches around the Tampa/Sarasota area. Of course, those beaches are also the most crowded.

I agree with Smudge, just know in advance all our beaches are sanded in pretty bad, East, West and South... Finds are a lot harder to come by this year, I don't think it is because no one is losing anything either as I still see the beaches full of people with jewelry on, it is just if you don't find it soon after it is lost I think it is sinking too deep in the new sand....

Find that dude in FL who keep posting his ring finds everyday. Go to his beach and do what he does. You should come home with at least one ring for each hunt!!!! Good luck!!!

I don't think many are going to give up what beaches have been productive with gold at $1,500. an ounce. The way our hunting has been lately on the West Coast, lottery tickets might be a better investment.

Terry your gold is going to happen soon. Dew Guru is the man when it comes to gold. Maybe he will give up a little info. Wish I could help, but know nothing about fla. Good luck and HH...

I'm no one special. I just put the time and effort in. It calls for both, along with a whole lot of patience and positivity. You're welcome to come down to my area Terry, no worries. -- Ray

You got that right Dew. You have put in the time. I found that big ring in hour 7 at the beach. I generally spend 7-10 hours each hunt and feel like I'm on a roll when I find 1 ring on each hunt. I'm guessing it takes me about 10-15 hours per gold I find. In the last 6 hunts that I found 5 gold rings I probably logged about 45-55 hours in the water.

Pat don't know if you were mocking my comment or not, if you were, I'm not offended, but I know for a fact the East coast of Florida from Jacksonville at least through Cocoa is sanded in bad, I have also hunted the West coast, St Pete area and it is sanded in as well. I have talked to hunters in the Miami area and they are also reporting a lot of sand, although there are more finds there due to more people in the water, they are still harder to come by than in the previous years.......

THANK YOU ALL! :notworthy:

Wow! I have been "sanded in" with great suggestions and offers - what a GREAT bunch of folks! :headbang:

What a nice problem to have - deciding what beach I want to spend two-day on! I'm consulting with the bosses (two oldest daughters and the Mrs) and will keep you all posted! Thank's again for all the great suggestions and offers! :headbang:

T.H., no no dear, no mock, not at all! Emotions never convey properly on internet, I find.
We are sanded in so bad, Palm, Broward, Dade, it ain't even funny!
I walk around at low tide in ankle deep water, where as, it used to be 3-4 feet deep?
Whatever had been lost in past, is now deeply buried!
