Treasure salvors still have leases to search the waters, so stay on the beaches beyond the surf line. You also must respect private property whenever encountered between where the beach sand ends (known as the escarpment) to U.S. Highway A1A that parallels the coast.

Look for the high-tide line where the sand is softest and walk along it, as that?s frequently proven to be productive. Sort through the debris and inspect anything unusual. A screened device at the end of a handle can reduce a lot of stooping, but simple garden tools, such as a hand scoop or pail, will suffice.

Another good zone involves the ?wet sand? that?s exposed as the surf recedes after each wave. If you notice something worth checking out, keep your eyes fastened on that spot so you don?t lose it and move quickly before the next wave washes in.

When it?s safe to do so, hit the beach soon after a storm?s come through off the ocean. The heavy wave action stirs up the sediment and at times picks up objects, like coins, and tumbles them right onto the beaches.

Look for areas with more shell deposits than others, as this might indicate where strong currents are sweeping across the bottom and depositing loose objects onto the beach sand.

One of my favorite locations involves Vero Beach. I stay at the Vero Beach Holiday Inn due to its proximity to other productive beaches. I also work the beaches just north and south of the hotel, where I found four silver coins on only

I too have visited Vero, and like the area around those beaches pretty well.

Maybe I'll bump into you one day while detecting there, when ever I can make it back down there.

Cheers,  Detecting
Jim
