This is just getting crazy! We have had up to 24" of rain and its still raining, the storm has stalled and looks to be heading back west. But the beaches are getting a good washing.

Re: Will ever the rain stop?

Hey Dale. Which beach is that in the photo? That is somewhat what we are looking for. May be a good weekend ahead for some hunting.

Cocoa Beach. But I hear Daytona and New Smyrna are washing away pretty good also.

Tony: If you visit this site, Florida Today posted your photo.

Tony Diana of Cape Canaveral gets a jump on his competition as he looks for gold with his metal detector Tuesday evening around the Cocoa Beach Pier.

Any idea of how St. Augustine and Jax Beach are shaping up?
 
Wow, that is one heck of a storm. I am kinda jealous of the beach photo. We are so sanded in here its not funny. But, all in due time. I hope you all get out soon as the last drop hits the ground, and has the hunt of a lifetime on them perty beaches of yours :).
 
You better check the roads before you head this way. Its 4 am and still raining out there. Not sure if I can get out of the neighborhood yet.
 
I would try to hunt the receding tide in the afternoon. Maybe the rain will have stopped by then. I may drive up myself. :) Im too late for the morning low. Its 6 AM.
 
Im headed to Sebastian right now. I should be there by 1 PM. Ill take some pics, if its not raining. (My DetectorPro is water resistant; my camera is not). See ya!. ;D
 
thanks for the link! You guys stay safe!!

Your killing me! I am stuck at work with roof leaks. And one a/c down.
What a day.
 
hey dirt fishin' Dale, I met you one morning at cocoa! I am heading over that way this weekend if I can get through.
we hunted together for a while, sure was nice meeting you, thanks for the tips as well.
nice pics.

ps if you know anyone collecting an old whites goldmaster 6/GB in the box let me know.
had the guts replaced. it is 1980 and my first detector and still works great. but I just bought a honda vt 600 so I kinda need the cash.
Peace.
 
Hey Graffix Girl!
I haven't seen you on line lately. The rain has slowed and the water is a bit lower in the yard. I will be out detecting all this weekend. I had a big decision to make, pick up all the limbs in the yard, clean the pool, etc, etc, or go to the beach.
The yard and stuff can wait. Hope to see you out there. I will be out at Jetty park on Saturday and going south on Sunday, then Cocoa Beaches on Monday. Leave some good stuff for me.

I just got back from the Treasure Beaches. I hunted til 10PM. Its after 12 now. The hi-tide made me quit. There are 12 foot deep cuts in some places near Wabasso! :o MDers everywhere. Some people are making finds. A guy showed me a 1/2 reale and a silver button, with some writing on it, that he found behind Chuck's. I have some unidentified objects and lots of iron. Some wood. Pictures coming. I need to get out of these wet clothes first and dry the inside of my Detectorpro headphones. ::) The "waterproof" cups leaked from the rain. >:( >:( All wet inside... but it still works. ;D


The other Dale :D
 
Most of my pics are too large. >:(

The beach is cut in layers.
