Night hunting?

I do alot of night detecting at Clearwater Beach, I wear my miners headlamp and a small hand held LED to check finds. To darn hot during the day and beach rake comes in around two am. Police have left me alone so far.

Only because I am new and like a kid at Christmas... I have gone in my backyard in the evenings when I get home to test my skills...I work at Lowe's and we have these really cool caps that have lights on the bills of the cap.  They are very bright and last a pretty good long time.  You can replace the batt when they seem to fade out.  This cap really works great when you have to look in the hole.  Lights it right up!  Also great when working on the car and walking the dog in the evening...

Enjoy... just wanted to share..

I only go hunting at night, and half the time I go alone.  I use a head mounted LED light and a good beach scoop.  Hunting dry sand is just as easy at night as during the day.  Hunting wet sand at night is a little tougher and a good pin-pointer helps a lot.

However...I am hunting the resort beaches of Okinawa Japan.  This is a very safe place, at least for a strong middle-aged man.  If I were a young girl, I would never consider hunting the beach at night, especially alone.  But for me, I enjoy having the whole beach to myself.
 I saw youtube videos of people hunting the crowded beaches during the day.  That looked nearly as dangerous as hunting at night...!

Hi fellas.
This time of year most of my detecting is done at night due to heat but basically I detect at night all year round.
EMI drops down to nothing, noises and  other distractions are minimal so concentration on the disgustingly faint signals is much better.
I tend to concentrate on what's in my headlight field instead of wandering off because that over there looks better or easier.

The only drama we have is the gynormous Orb weaving spiders that sit in the middle of thier webs at face height between trees.

Here's a link to my yootoob channel with plenty of night time detecting videos.
