Myrtle Beach early November??

[Hosensack]

What is the activity/weather like in Myrtle beach in late October early November, we are heading down for a week, and I am just wondering if bringing the metal detector along is worth it. Or will the swim crowd be gone and the local beach combers have it cleaned already?

Just got back from Myrtle and am interested in seeing what replies you get about the weather/water temps etc. As far as hunting goes, I don't think it will be cleaned up, maybe the dry sand but the wet sand and in the water at low tide should be good. I'm not sure it can be hunted out since the sand changes daily. I spent most of my time in less than a 1/2 mile of shore and about 300 yards of it I hit two and three times a day for 7 1/2 days and found stuff most every time out. If your detector can work the wet sand without falsing from the minerals, you will find something if you work it thoroughly.

Myrtle Beach has a big beach. Hit it at low tide and if you don't hunt the water just get as close to the water as possible (wet sand). I used to hunt between a place called "The Fun Plaza" and another gameroom called "The Pavilion" but I'm not sure if the Pavilion is still there. It was right near Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum. I found my best ring in the wet sand at low tide right there. I always bring my detector just in case. Good Luck

We're planning on spending a few days there soon. Taking the Excal. If I were you I'd definitely take mine. Lot's of people there during the season.

The Pavilion is gone, sad to say, replaced by some fance high rises and beach retoration upgrades.
(these are nice)
