Lauderdale at the Sea--good place to hunt?

[tcornel]

I am thinking of going there for a late April break. Is there a big tourist population there or is it primarily residential.

I plan on spending most of my time detecting both dry and wet.

Any input would be appreciated.

It's a little of both. There have been stuffs recovered at Lauderdale by the Sea.
It's such a small beach area and you are close to a lot of S Fl beaches that have potential also.
Deerfield, Pompano, Ft. Laud, Dania, Hollywood, Hallandale, Surfside, Miami, S. Beach.
From the Palm beach county line to the keys...... you really can't lose anywhere here.



Wait, what am I saying?
No no no! It's terrible over here! Go to the WEST coast of Florida,
there's NO COMPETITION over there, nope, not any!
Go plunder their gold, they need someone to show them how to do it!

There's nothing over here on the west coast! That's why we always travel to the east coast to detect.

No! there is absolutely nothing over here around lauderdale by the sea or pompano or any of these s.e. florida beach areas!

All joking aside... there are piers here that have most of the harder hit beaches right around them. Look for areas of beach that have public (with meters)
parking lots close by them. Those will have the most people coming and setting up towels. The long stretches of beach between these "pier areas"
do see some action, but not as much because they are mostly hotel guest who leave everything in their rooms and walk onto the beach. If you catch my drift...

Thanks for the input. I will give it a try.

Go early in the morning and be finished before the crowd arrives. During mid day you can search canal banks, vacant lots, etc. back to the beach again early, like 5am.
