Matagorda? Galveston? Southeast Texas?

[Southwesterner]

Anyone here ever go out to the above mentioned places? I'm a newbie and would like to get out and start hitting some sites. Any ideas?

Thanks

I get to Galveston frequently and have been to the other locals dozens of times. Do you want to water hunt, beach hunt, or are you interested in relics? You have to relize that over 95% of the land here is private, beach is public. You need to research what parks allow detecting be fore doing so, state parks do not, period, some corp of engineer parks do, city and county all vary. Good Luck

Probably more of the beach and land type. Relics, coins... I'll take whatever I can stumble upon at this point. Planning a couple of gold hunts in AZ in a few weeks also.

Yes, I have been researching laws etc...

Thanks!
