Vacation to FL, need a spot for a 1st timer

[afreakofnature]

Hello all, I do a little bit of detecting for nuggets in SD. I am going to FL in a couple weeks, I have never detected on a beach before. Without doing the research, I was just wondering if I could get some names or places to try out for some old Spanish gold. I am basically going to get one day to give it a try. Suggestions, comments, ideas, anything would be great.

Thanks!

It all depends on which side. Gulf or Atlantic. I search Gulf side when I go.

with out a strong storm before you go - Spanish gold odds are low - extremely low unless your a diver and can hook up with a dive co.
your best bet is to go to south bch and look for new Spanish gold

Well Ok I know that the Spanish gold is probably never going to happen but would still like to give it a try. I am visiting my folks in Lake Placid, which is in the middle of FL so I have a 2 hour drive to either coast. I have a friend near Sanibel Island that I might visit and I have read about Vero beach but just thought I would ask where some people would recommend.

I have been looking for 8 years and have not found Spanish gold for which the current conditions are poor, not that you shouldn't try. Sanibel is known for it's seashells, you may need a strong scoop there.
