St. George Island

[Rosco161]

We are headed to St. George Island this summer and my son and I will be working the sand. Any suggestions and help would be great since I never hunted on the beach before. I live in Illinois and won't be use to the sand.

What kind of detector are you using? You should have no problem with the dry, but if you venture into the wet sand (tidal zone), then you'll have to turn down your sensitivity as the salt will cause most land detectors to false and read "foil". Hit the access points and focus on the towel line. Also, trash can areas can be frustrating, but there is also potential for some nice finds. Good luck and happy hunting.

It's a beautiful island. Just hit the beach. Bring your fishing pole. Check and Make sure they aren't having a red tide during your vacation.

Thank you very much guys... We love it down there and this will be my first trip with the Metal Detector.... As many times as I have been down there I have never seen anyone using one. I hope to get luck with a nice find. I use an Ace 250 and have hunted for about a year on and off. Any idea what kinds of finds are found down there?

I am flying so the fishing pole is out of the question.... Might buy one while I am there any idea what to fish for and what to use for bait?

Thanks guys any help on either subject would be great.
