Heading to Kill Devil Hills in October......

mighty_mace · Aug 11, 2011

Me and the family are going on vacation around mid October to Kill Devil Hills. Was wondering if anyone was from anywhere near the area and would like to do some searchin? I plan on taking the detector along, never hunted at the beach before. Never been here before either.

Detecting is strictly prohibited on the national seashore. Depending on where you are staying you might have to head to the north part of the beaches. ... generally north of Oregon inlet. Check out Google maps fir the location you are staying and if it's in the National Park area.

You'd be surprised at what you can find at 0300 in the morning....lol It is prohibited and I'm not encouraging anything but its beautiful between 2400hrs and 0300hrs with a bon fire on the beach. What you do when you get there is your business. Very rarely see any of the National Park service out there at that time and especially not during October. Great time to be there. I was an Avon inhabitant for almost 20 years for vacations.

Agree; south of Nags Head would be good. In Nags Head, wife & I saw TWO Beach Fires; no TIKI Lights, tho. October would be good for walking the "South" Beaches; NOT sure of MD, tho...
