MDing Ocean City, NJ beaches

[kencasey]

I've just started metal detecting last week, and I love it. I bought a used Garrett ADS III analog detector with 3 coils from a nice guy on craigslist.org.

Upon my week's vacation in Ocean City, NJ at the shore, I spent several hours seaching the beaches near the southern part of town. I found just over $1. in modern coins, tent pegs, a copper hair barrett, many bottle caps and metal trash (which I disposed of/recycled), and a vintage metal game horseshoe. Not bad for my first time out, eh?

I met five nice folks, who also metal detected there. And, they shared some stories with me. Each were nice, and even gave me some good advice with treasure hunting. One such cool treasure hunter was BootyBay. She suggested that I visit treasurenet.com and see what it's all about. Thanks for the invite.

I hope to post photos soon.

Thanks for letting me join such an esteemed group of folks here.

Welcome to TNet! There are a lot of great sites to detect in NJ. I don't care too much for beach detecting, but I was less than a half hour away having a great time detecting!

Welcome to TreasureNet and the best hobby ever! What other hobby gets you some sun, fresh air, tranquility, and PAYS YOU FOR IT! (Wages may vary)

I hesitantly admit that if you had been detecting on the beach in Ocean City when I was in the Navy (20 years ago), you might have found me asleep in the sand from the night before!

Best of Luck to You! The next tone might be a diamond ring!

I found some more rusty metal in my own backyard the other day: a 2 foot long angle iron, a 20+ year old Diet Coke can, and an aluminum punch out disc from an electrical box. Most of these finds may have been buried during the construction of my home about 20 years ago.

And, I still have square footage to detect!
