My First Beach Hunting Experiance at Galveston

[Terrible Tom]

My first beach hunt wasn't terribly rewarding ($1.19), but it was great fun. I want to thank a fellow forum member, Sqwaby, who took the time to show my friend and I the in and outs of beach hunting. He mentored us on several beaches around Galveston and took us to a local park in his home town. Additionally, he was kind enough to allow me to use his F5 detector as an old detector we brought with us shot craps on the first beach. I met Sqwaby for the first time on Sunday morning and hope to continue our friendship for many years to come.

Good for you - Galveston's beaches have lots of iron/nails, etc.. hard huntin but can pay off. GL and HH

Galveston takes a decent detector and a bit of experience to really hunt it with success.
The iron trash can be a real challenge.

Thanks for the compliments Tom, It was my pleasure to show you guys around, glad we didn't get shunked. Beaches don't get replinished much this time of year, maybe be we get into it next hunt. I'm up for hunting anytime, whenever you need to thaw out give me a heads up. Tom

Lived in Galveston 08, 09 hurricane ike ran us off but we returned,had lots of fun times there.When the summer cranks up u have to get to Stewart beach early they start putting out chairs, umbrellas in the way always did fairley well there.I always did better at East beach ,thats were the party crowd goes and they seem to loose more stuff.Theres several local hunters there and there out almost every day i know i was one of them. Good luck and enjoy the scenary

Stewart and East Beach are both covered with ferrous metals. East Beach is the worst to me. No point in taking a PI machine there, well unless you need the exercise.
