SC & NC beaches

Thinking about heading out to the Wrightsville Beach NC , Atlantic Beach NC, Isle of Palms and Folly Beach SC...........Can anyone give me a beach sand scouting report? Are we seeing any winter time erosion or cuts anywhere?
 
I live just a few miles down the road from Folly but haven't been there in a good while (playing golf). I did talk to a buddy of mine and he said the sand was up pretty good and not much of anything turning up. A few clad but no rings. This was last week. The renourishmet program they do down here kind of hurts the hunting I think. I also heard that Isle Of Palms is starting a renourishment program as well. Might have already started for all I know as I haven't been over there since last winter. I wish I had better news for you here but I think I need to start looking for some other places to hunt. Best of luck.

Sucks, stay away. Seriously there has been no erosion in months at Wrightsville Beach NC. I live at Carolina Beach and it has been slow, we get a storm sand is taken and then it is redeposited back in a day or two. I have seen the other regulars from the beach detecting parks and on empty lots. They all have said the same thing. We need a good Noreaster then come.
 
I usually hunt Atlantic Beach in late April and had pretty good luck. No diamonds or anything like that. 5-6 years ago they replenished Atlantic Beach and it has sucked ever since. The steel pipes that were used to pump the sand with were rusted and ga-zillions of tiny metal flakes now litter the beach. Makes for a noisy hunt.

I was planning on to heading toward Charleston this morning to detect, but the old faithful is in the shop until Monday.. I check alot of web cams on the internet and the beaches are sanded in still. I did observe a cut at Myrtle Beach, Thrusday, but M. Beach is sanded in too much.

I was at Isle of Palms last year in the early summer and they were replenishing the beach sand and it was torn up all the Heck! What a fricken mess and it was horrible for detecting. They should be done now with the beach project this year as I was told they finished it last summer. You wont find anything at all with the 5 feet of sand they replenished on top of the old beach. It will take another hurricaine to strip off all that sand before it will be good for detecting again. Bob
