Metal Detecting Bethune Beach shortly after Hurricane Ian and just before Hurricane Nicole.
Bethune is just 3 and a half miles South of New Smyrna Beach and a great destination for many looking for some beach time.

Take a quick look after Nicole came through. Most of the railing along the beach is destroyed. Lots of new gravel shell sand has been brought in here, probably to try and protect the area.

This beach is more coarse sand than New Smyrna Beach or Daytona Beach. It’s also a tad steeper beach. Still, it’s a nice beach where lots of people come to enjoy and play. It’s also good for metal detecting.

Hurricane Nicole came in a month after Hurricane Ian pummeled Florida and dropped more rain and long term wind which has pretty much closed down a lot of the beaches around Florida.

Both detectors are mostly stock setting with all metal usually turned on. We tend to dig most everything and show what we feel are the most interesting digs.
