Next time hit Crescent beach a little south. Was there during Helene’s arrival and after. Lots of coins, 10k medallion and a nice 14K diamond ring. Also some silver rings and earrings. I stayed next to the beach park. I’d never hunt that re-nourished pier area

Wife and I were a few miles south from where you were when Milton came through. Only got to hunt Friday and Saturday after that happened and found a couple of quarters and pennies. To say I was disappointed is an understatement.

Hey Frank, I'm on the next barrier island north of you about 3 miles past Vilano Beach. It's crazy when they do the beach replenishment. Same up here. I don't even know if it's worth going down to the shoreline to look for shells. Could be OK with the wave action but they sure do pump millions of yards of sand on these beaches. Hell, it could be so much worse, just look at the beaches where hurricane Milton hit. The beaches of Ana Maria Island, Siesta Key and Lido Key were all destroyed. Maybe with moderate erosion around Cape Canaveral Seashore could be a better location. Possibly Daytona on South had more severe weather than us up here towards Ponte Vedra Beach. I'm not familiar where you start from but I would try around Cocoa Beach for the buried treasure. St Augustine Beach looks just like play sand from Home Depot. Too clean and the targets would be too deep if at all. Great Beach for Suntans and Pompano though.

it's still fun to watch...somedays you dont find anything. rather watch a true detectorist than all those phony guys who plant stuff to "find" in their videos. no one finds good stuff every trip unless it is planted. good luck with future hunts. I'll be watching.
