Hope you get a chance to read this before you head out. We used to have a club in Prince Frederick but it disbanded about a year ago. Some old coins can be found on the beaches, unfortunately they are mostly in protected areas (of which the Calvert Cliffs are one).
We have had plenty of arguments about how they can consider the beach protected, but believe me they do.
To be honest, you will have much better luck checking out private property (if you happen to know anyone in the area) or hitting up the parks. While they have been hammered, occasionally they still yield. I found an 1836 5C last weekend in a local park.

Let me guess how your club discovered that whatever spots were "protected" (ie.: no md'ing allowed): Someone there went and "asked" right? Afterall, you can't be too safe, right? So their "pressing question" got bandied back and forth between multiple desks. Till finally the answer came back "no". 
Eh? Then you/we can all sit around having "plenty of arguments" over why oh why they would consider some silly beach to be "protected". Well I can tell you why. Care to take a guess?

Several of the beaches here are protected by the state, and Maryland has no problem confiscating equipment, imposing fines, and sending people to jail for metal detecting. That said, county properties and parks are generally fair game (except for Charle's county).
We have some old timer's here who are not afraid to ignore the official edict in order to access historical sites, which hasn't gone well for the rest of us.
