Minelab xterra, Whites DFX, Notka Makro Simplex. Folks the price donā€™t mean everything, the question is are you willing to put in the time to learn the machine, experience will pay off I guarantee it.

Obviously this isnā€™t the treasure coast like the other side of state, but curious anyone knows Iā€™m listening thanks

Lots of beaches to hunt, and any gold or silver found will be recent drops.

Hurricane Ian hit south of Sarasota, I would hunt the beaches at and north of Sarasota.

Make a road trip north and go over the Skyway bridge, I recommend a late day trip so you can go over during day and return after dark, the bridge has a nice light show.

Below are pictures of original bridge after the bridge accident in May 1980, 600 ft freighter hit south bound span pilings during a bad rain squall with 70 mph winds knocking down 1200+ ft of bridge, 5 cars, a pickup and a greyhound bus fell with the bridge killing 35, there was 1 survivor.


The greyhound bus that was carry most of the victims that died

I actually drove over the bridge that morning, going over bridge about 30 mins before the accident. I lived in St Pete and worked in Sarasota Springs, I left early that morning because of the bad weather giving myself extra drive time.
