Night time is ace.I work nights,an go metal detecting afterwards on the beach.no body about no to pest me saying found anything LOL.besides it keeps me ahead of the game,as most peeps detect when it is day light.
You would have to be a brave fearless person to do it at night. You never know whats about or whos about. Id never walk down a dark beach alone at night with headphones on. People being mugged/robbed is virtually a daily occurrence in this day and age for one thing

I understand some people are a bit wary about detecting on a beach at night ,and its understandable, but I aint one of them, or worried about being mugged ,(Id probably do the mugging)if I thought like that I d prob stay in all the time watchin soaps.NO THANKS.
however I would nt advise any women or youngsters to go out alone in the dark.

A couple of months ago a photographer was hit over the head and all his camera equipment stolen at Talacre. I aint a killjoy but would still advise detecting with a buddy at night.
