I've said this many times before, but if you want to make finds you have to put in the time. The more time you spend in the field observing and metal detecting, the more successful you will be. Of course, there is a skill factor, but skill is improved by time spent in observation and practice.
One of the big advantages of being in the field a lot is knowing what is going on where. If one beach or area of a beach is better than another or if one beach starts producing, if you are out there a lot, you will be among the first to discover it.
If you improve your understanding and skill, you will improve your efficiency and be able to accomplish more in less time, but no matter how much you know, there is no substitute for actually being out there.

We now have two tropical storms - Marco and Laura. Marco is down by the Yucatan and headed towards Texas, while Marco is down near Puerto Rico and looks like it will skirt the west coast of Florida on its way to Louisiana.
And don't forget what could be behind those two.
People come over to the Treasure Coast from the west coast of Florida when we have a storm, and I suppose some will go to the west coast to hunt after Laura. They also have some treasure coin beaches. Naples beach is one.

Some guys come to the Treasure Coast from the west coast of Florida when we have a storm, but this time you might want to visit the west coast.
You probably know that they have treasure beaches for metal detecting too. For example, Naples, Clam Pass and Venice Beach all have good treasure coin spots.
And of course you know of the Padre Island coin beaches, but you are not allowed to use a metal detector on Padre Island National Seashore anymore.
There was a time when water cannons were used on the beaches there. Not today!

To sum it up, at this time it looks like the Treasure Coast will not be affected much by either Marco or Laura, but the west coast of Florida might get some action from Laura.
Happy hunting,
