Daytona Beach in the summer

I am going to Daytona for a week this month. Is there any use in taking my detector with me. I live in NC and rarely hunt the beaches in the summer. Just wondering. Thanks
 
One thing is for sure and two for certain you won't find anything without it. You may very well pay for your trip. HH :minelab:
 
If it's a beach/salt water detector, go for it. Nothing worse than being there and wishing that you brought it. Remember your sand scoop. HH:detecting::minelab:
 
Sure, it's a good idea to bring your detector. Daytona is a great beach and it has usually produced good finds most of the times I have hunted it - being from Miami, I don't get up that way too often. During the summer, there usually won't be a great number of good targets (unless you are lucky enough to come across a washout or cut of some kind), but like the old addage says, you are after quality not quantity most of the time. One target can easily make your day if it's gold. It does take some patience to find the goods at DB. Goldnugget is right on about parking - don't think about parking illegally to save a buck. Don't forget your change since it's all metered parking there - no freebies. Cops and land owners in DB can be real jerks - they love to tow you or at least give you an expensive parking ticket if you park in the wrong spots. Also, having a good strong long-handled sand scoop is a good idea since DB's sand is really heavy and hard packed and targets are often really deep.

Good luck and hope you get some gold.

Thanks,

Mark
 
Thanks for the info. Parking won't be a problem, we're staying in a beach hotel. I'm taking my Excal with a short handled shovel. Will let you know what I do.
