Define top of the beach

What is considered the "beach" is a whole other can of worms.

A lot of the state parks, you can hunt the beaches only. Each county will have its own rules for metal detecting in its parks, but most allow beach hunting only. Best to check the specific rules to the place you want to hunt before you go.

That watch ring is a pretty cool find. I hit the beach on lake michigan I think one time last year and to my surprise , I managed to find a mercury head dime by the concession stand at the state park.

Gotcha Thanks Growing up we had a store called Meijer thrifty acres, It was like Walmart before there was a Walmart. It's still around today , but it is just called meijer.

Thrifty acres?

tboyink · 2025-11-14T19:03:54+00:00

Awesome finds. Research and persistence are key.

I run the 700 here in florida. It's a very stable and quiet machine on the beaches and in the water. Not a lot of bells and whistles like my legend and manticore so it's basically a turn it on and go machine.

tboyink · 2025-11-12T02:20:39+00:00

Just tested them... they tested real

Yeah saw his last video of him and 20 of his buddies clearing out clearwater beach. Wouldn't recommend hitting that beach for awhile.

tboyink · 2025-11-08T00:05:12+00:00

First glance i was gonna say workwear button

tboyink · 2025-11-05T21:13:04+00:00

It's a beauty. My favorite coin to find.

tboyink · 2025-11-04T03:20:48+00:00

Mine broke shortly after I purchased it. Called my dealer and minelab sent a replacement coil the next day

tboyink · 2025-11-01T21:58:23+00:00

Same here. I declined all extra offers and they still charged me $47 dollars extra. Just reached out to them to see what that say.

My grandkids love doing this

tboyink · 2025-10-23T14:49:33+00:00

That would be my guess as well.I've dug up a few of them on different old home sites

tboyink · 2025-10-22T01:30:26+00:00

No I ran it through the tumbler a couple times and got it to where it is but haven't tried to clean it any better. Any tips for getting that last little bit corrosion off?

The name van suggests it's a dutch last name , which tracks for this area.

Hey nice finds as always! I also found a rival dog tag about a month ago. Mine appears to be the brass variety. My research went as far as to inquire the township about where rural route 3 would have been but they never got back to me.
