Connor Pillar of the Community United States 2130 Posts	Posted 07/15/2015 08:14 am Just wondering how many people here metal detect on the beaches? I have been at the beach this week and I started talking to a guy that was metal detecting on the beach. He said he had just found a $3200 gold Tiffany ring the day before and one of his buddies found a ring with 12 small diamonds. He also said you would be surprised on what people lose everyday on the beach. I asked him how much his detector cost and he told me he had a little over 2K in his but the water and salt would not bother it at all. Needless to say, he was probably glad when I walked away because I was asking all sorts of questions. He was nice enough to answer them all and I learned alot! Report this Post to the Staff

Precious Mental Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 07/15/2015 6:49 pm Unfortunately, no beaches near me. Am sure finds like that are made, slippery sun tan oil, rings, watches, jewelry flung from a towel. Old losses turned up by the tide. Sounds like fun! Report this Post to the Staff
mmorgan22 Pillar of the Community United States 570 Posts	Posted 08/31/2015 12:54 am I used to go to the beaches all the time until I moved inland After a storm, you could find tons of coins, jewelry, fishing weights, pop tops, bottle caps, and many other random things.

That's not why I got into the hobby. I love coins and relics and the history behind them. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Report this Post to the Staff
Bas S Warwick Pillar of the Community New Zealand 526 Posts	Posted 09/22/2015 01:25 am When I lived in the UK I did all my detecting on beaches - mostly looking for coins, but occasionally found gold and silver (and lots of ring pulls). If you can discover the right spots for yourself you can find a wealth of treasures. The only problem now is that more and more people are in to daily sweeping on the main beaches. Youtube has lots of instructive info. Edited by Bas S Warwick 09/22/2015 01:27 am Report this Post to the Staff
