Default Beach Hunting a first for me.

Well I'm on vacation In Biloxi Ms. for cruisin the coast and did my first beach hunting today. I had always hunted private property and fenced in school yards with no one else around. I just went on the beach across from our Motel for a few hours this afternoon. Weather was great and I could do two of my passions at the same time.. Metal detecting and watching the classic cars pass by. 3000 + classic cars in town so far and should climb to 5000 + before the weekend. I found some clad and one silver ear ring. I'll have Pictures of finds and scenary tomorrow. Happy hunting!!
