We are going to Vero Beach to visit some family and I hope to do some beach metal detecting while there. I was hoping that someone would be able to give me any help on beach techniques or places to visit in the general area. I don't have a water machine, so will need to stay dry unfortunately. Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can give, good luck and HH! :thumbup:
 
I don't know where any hot spots are, but your coils are waterproof and can be in the water. Just don't raise your coil over the control box after it's been in the water. The control box is NOT waterproof. Good luck and hope you finds some wonderful treasures. HH, Nancy
 
Just wanted to interject here on what to do "if" you do happen to get water in your box. Pull out that battery and if it was salt water, a thorough rinsing in a 5 gal. bucket of fresh water. Then pop the screws in the box, open (only a bit) and take a hair dryer to it to avoid the "green death" on the circuit board. Over the years it has happened to me twice and this has saved me! (One time it was a waterborne polyurethane spill and what a mess that was!) Be generous with the "just letting it sit" dry time. Nightmare!
 
There has been some very nice finds off of that beach and on down South, mainly the 1715 Spanish treasure fleet that wrecked off the coast during the 17th and 18th centuries. Be sure to go see the found treasure museums in the area while there. The best time to hunt those beaches is right after a big storm when the sand has shifted.
 
Hi jcooking, some of the best times to go to the beaches around Vero is as larry/IL said, after a low pressure front has gone thru. Then the next best time is in the early( I do mean early ) AM on Monday. After a weekend on the beach there's sometimes a lot of gold and silver around. Check the local paper for tides (low in the AM), or at least the outgoing tide. The beaches from Ft. Peirce thru to Wabasa north of Sebastion inlet. And believe me there is a lot of beach area to cover. As Larry said, go and the see the museum just south of Sebastion inlet. It's all about the 1715 Plate Fleet that was sunk worth millions of dollars in gold and silver still being found around there.You can see a good movie and look at a lot of treasure and hear the history about the events that happened there. I think it only cost my wife and I $5.00 apiece for about an hour there and a guide to take you thru. A lot of gold Spanish dubloons (sp) are
found there at times. HH and hope you have a good time while around there.

I moved to Vero Beach about 8 months ago. I don't have a secret place, but can get you to the beach. LOL
If you want to do some hunting just let me know. Early AM on the beach is probably the best time.
