Looking for Metal Detecting buddys in North Florida
Can’t get much farther in NE Florida than Fernandina Beach. Retired LEO, former Marine and avid dirt fisher. I have been hunting off an on 40+ years. Mostly beach hunting but I prefer older sites looking for silver coins. Looking to find others interested in Civil war era relics and older coins. On my bucket list of course would be a gold coin. New to site so good luck hunting to all.
I will be in Gulf Breeze near Pensacola Beach in a couple of days and am wondering how the beach hunting there is. Does anyone know? Any place on Pensacola beach off limits?
TIA
Thanks Steve.
I lived in Milton about 10 years ago prior to moving to Iowa. I didn’t start detecting until 4 years ago so I’ve never detected in the area.
My wife’s cousin lives on Soundside Dr. east of Garçon Point Walmart so I’ll hit the sound behind her house.
Definitely a !!!! shoot hitting the sound side. Probably something happened there in the historical past, but you probably won't find anything interesting. Not being pessimistic...just realistic.
There are some soccer fields just east of and behind the Publix, which is just east of that Walmart. Beeped that place, um, two, maybe three times. Always lots of targets, and I have never found a ring there. Hit that place also. With the local demographic, there has to be some good finds there.
Milton to Iowa...that is quite a change!
Sorry so late in responding, have been family matters and traveling . I would certainly like to meet up sometime. I prefer old coins to new ones also. The weather should be breaking in the north in the next month and I am hoping to do some dirt fishing! Nothing better than holding some history, unless maybe a gold coin. Anyway I am retired so pretty much open to doing some detecting, keep me in mind. Nice talking with you. My name is Jim.
