Gary Drayton beach and water hunting blog: June 2015

http://hardcoretreasurehunting.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Gary Drayton beach and water hunting blog. Monday, June 29, 2015. Going the extra yard. Yesterday I got a chance to go metal detecting at a popular tourist beach in Palm Beach county Florida. This place is hit hard by many beach and water hunters, yesterday I saw several people already metal detecting when I arrived. The skies were getting darker and I knew I was probably going to have to leave the beach when a thunder storm rolled onshore. What is the point of going past the crowded area, right? Not all...

Gary Drayton beach and water hunting blog: Cutting through trash targets at the beach

http://hardcoretreasurehunting.blogspot.com/2015/07/cutting-through-trash-targets-at-beach.html

Gary Drayton beach and water hunting blog. Monday, July 20, 2015. Cutting through trash targets at the beach. Over the weekend I had a chance to search the yard of the second oldest house in Lauderdale by the sea, the house was built in 1924 by the same guy who built the fishing pier. I decided to put a smaller search coil on my CTX 3030 the following morning when I would methodically search the yard. The owner was thrilled when I placed the old silver coin in his hand, along with the rest of the coins.

Gary Drayton beach and water hunting blog: Moving and shaking

http://hardcoretreasurehunting.blogspot.com/2015/07/moving-and-shaking.html

Gary Drayton beach and water hunting blog. Saturday, July 25, 2015. I have recovered more than my fair share of really nice finds at the beach, from Spanish treasure to design name jewelry. This time last year I was picking this Tiffany and Co platinum ring with a 1.5 carat rock out of my scoop basket. I was very surprised to see this sparkly beauty glistening in the sun, it was probably the last place I would expect to find such an expensive diamond ring. Yesterday I hit a beach that obviously had not s...

Gary Drayton beach and water hunting blog. Thursday, February 26, 2015. High tide beach hunting. Heres a photo of a beach at high tide, just in case you are a beach hunter who is wondering what the beach looks like at high tide. I rarely see other people with metal detectors on the beach at high tide, quite surprising when you consider the three lower beach hot spots in this photo. The three really good lower beach jewelry and coin hunting areas are, the towel line, high tide line and wet sand. Because t...

Gary Drayton beach and water hunting blog: Sometimes less is more when it comes to beach and water hunting.

http://hardcoretreasurehunting.blogspot.com/2015/08/sometimes-less-is-more-when-it-comes-to.html

Gary Drayton beach and water hunting blog. Saturday, August 8, 2015. Sometimes less is more when it comes to beach and water hunting. The metal detectors I prefer to use for beach and water hunting are versatile, my control settings vary depending on the site selected and the search techniques I use depend on what I see when I get to the beach. I have no complicated search patterns, no cumbersome equipment to lug around and I never search every beach the same way. If you really think about it, we are sea...

Gary Drayton beach and water hunting blog: Keeping it simple

http://hardcoretreasurehunting.blogspot.com/2015/08/keeping-it-simple.html

Gary Drayton beach and water hunting blog. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. I searched a sandy lot about a block away from the beach this morning and came away with a few old coins for the area. Better still I came away with a perfectly good example of why it is good to use a little discrimination. I pressed the iron icon on my Minelab GoFind 40 and saved myself from digging junk instead of coins. All found within the first 6 to 8 inches of sand using a little discrimination, which goes a long way. Now more t...

Gary Drayton beach and water hunting blog. Friday, August 28, 2015. Beach hunting after a strong coastal storm. With tropical storm Erika making its way to Florida, my inbox has been full of messages from people asking for post storm beach hunting tips, so heres a few tips. When beaches are safe to search with a metal detector after a major storm has eroded beaches, you can find anything almost anywhere on the beach. Dont bring a gun to a knife fight, on a beach with several feet of sand removed from it,...

Gary Drayton beach and water hunting blog: Target recovery tips for the lower beach

http://hardcoretreasurehunting.blogspot.com/2015/08/target-recovery-tips-for-lower-beach.html

Gary Drayton beach and water hunting blog. Sunday, August 16, 2015. Target recovery tips for the lower beach. I have heard several stories of beach hunters losing good finds at the waters edge, scooping and dumping higher up on the beach will help avoid seeing a good find get washed back into the water. When I search in the wet sand and start to recover a target, I dump any sand I scoop a little higher up on the beach. Pinpointing a target is basically X-ing a target to give you a good idea where the tar...
