I live in the area and try to hit the beaches every weekend if I can get away for a few hours. There are a number of MDers I see around, but lately I have only seen one other gentleman on the weekends. Continually find coins, so the jewelry has to be there somewhere - I just keep looking for it. I have picked 2 gold this year off the beach. I think the area that gets hit the hardest is just south of the pier out in front of the lifeguard area. Just hit the low tide and hunt a trough or two, you are bound to find something. Shoot me a PM and maybe we can hook up at the beach while you are in town.

Your Quattro will do fine on the salt water beaches and even out in knee deep water.
The FBS technology is ideal for salt water beaches wet or dry.
Just watch raising the coil higher than the control box after it has been in water.
Water can run down the inside of the rod and into the control housing if you do.

You will need a sand scoop with a long handle.
