So, who said a storm would be good for detecting???

I think it's gonna be a while before our beaches give up ANYTHING. We are so sanded in after Isaac, I went out and worked a huge area of the wet and dry sand with the Sovereign set way above "beach" and did not get a single target for the first 15 or 20 minutes!! Then as I got up near the high water line I started getting TONS OF TRASH. I did pull one dime and one penny, but they were in the walkway to one of the resorts right near the steps. Maybe everything got washed out into the cuts in the water but it's still not safe to get into the water around here and I don't have a decent long handle scoop for in the water since my homemade one bent.... heavy sighhhhhhh

Similar on the east coast of Florida.
Definitely a different pattern than before the storm.

I like what it did to the beaches around here. It took a LARGE sandbar that was produced from Deb with a tidal pool behind it and smoothed it out. Yes more trash.... but thats not always a bad thing at least it moved something. Im not finding any OLDER coins, but in the long run people will enjoy the better beach with NO seaweed all over the place. People were just not wanting to go to the beach around here with it being nasty and the county unwilling to clean it up yet. Now..... once it settles down if that sea weed dont come back we will be ok.

yes, from what i can tell things have just gotten worse in my area of the east coast florida!!!!!! 4 hour hunt last night and i could hardly find a coin. sand is mushy in most spots. was the same at 4 different beaches when i went out after the storm trying to find some erosion to hunt.
