North Carolina Beaches

[stiffarm]

Can Anyone tell me where it is ok (legal) to hunt on the Outer Banks? I have a vacation comming up and wanted to visit there. I went there several years ago and was impressed, but didn't have a detector. If not North Carolina, maybe South Carolina or Georgia. I just want to hunt some surf. thanks.

I believe you cant detect on the beach once you get to the national seashore. I went a few years ago and detected in Nags Head. I had fun, but did not find much. I cant find my link to this site, but I would recommend that you take a look at Seaweed and the soda pop pirates site. I think it is listed on the links page at lost treasure magazines web site. Some of the guys that hunt the Outer banks may still post on findsforums beach hunting page, but I have not looked there in a while. I think you will be okay as long as you stay north of the national seashore. I did have someone tell me that the Duck and Corolla areas were good, but I have not been there. If I go there again I would try to hook up with a local hunter and see if I could tag along. Good luck.

Here is the link to the afore mentioned site http://www.outerbanksnc.net/ship.html. Scroll down and you will see a link that says "Where to detect on the Outer Banks?" Good luck and HH.

It's a real shame that you can't detect on Hatteras island. I used to live in Buxton, and know that Diamond shoals has caused a lot of shipwrecks. Isn't called the "Graveyard of the Atlantic" for nothing. I'm sure there's a lot of goodies along the shore! I'm going there with the family in June to visit friends, and it's gonna kill me knowing I can't detect there!

I would love to get out on the Outer Banks after a good nor'easter or hurricane! HH.
