Message:: [QUOTE="dready, post: 446125, member: 11674"]I have lived in Florida for the past 30 years and I have to disagree with you on this one. If you want white sand beaches and warmer and cleaner water then the WEST coast (Gulf coast) is by far nicer than the East coast. If you want brown sand and cooler water then you would prefer the East coast. I've lived on both coasts and for beauttiful beaches and sunsets that are drop-dead gorgeous, It's the west coast. As for metal detecting you are going to find all the usual things (keys,rings and change) on both sides. One spot that I've been to on the East coast that has given up some GOLD coins is Sebastion Inlet. Folks have had luck there AFTER a storm stirs things up. As for coin shops: Dales Coins in Dunedin, Glenn's Coins in Largo and Hauser's Coins in Clearwater are a few that I deal with . All highly recommended. If you going to do beach time, you know, catch some rays,swim or look at the scenery,wink,wink, I'd go to Clearwater Beach. Late afternoon or early morning is good detecting time. Enjoy your visit to the Sunshine State<img src="http://www.cointalk.org/images/icons/icon6.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />..........John[/QUOTE]
