Well went to Cape Henlopen park beach here in Delaware yesterday,It is one of three beaches that people here is belived to be the famous coin beach where coins from the 1700s and 1800s wash up after storms Well I can tell you that those coins are long gone!I was there day after hurricane Irene swept through. I was with about 35 other detectorist, and none of us even found a modern coin of any kind.But yesterday I got a hit with the ACE 250,set for beach use at four bars discrim and everything left of nickel notched out for wet sand.Got a Quarter signal at 6 inches about half foot from waters edge, dug down and out popped quarter sized coin un readable until I got home and put it in tumbler with salt and vinegar for hour and half,well it wasnt a old coin at all,just a well rusted and crusted modern state quarter from mass. well at least I got my first coin ever from these beaches.Wayne HH.

I was wondering how Irene would effect the beaches over that way. Sounds like it buried everything deeper. Also have to say that it sounds like pretty slim pickins to me. A couple of weeks ago I went to a beach in a nearby resort town and the first thing I saw when I got out of the car was a man and a woman, both with metal detectors, heading for the water. I thought about just leaving but decided to make a sweep of the beach first. Spent about half an hour and found 1 penny. Ya snooze, ya lose.
