St. Thomas Beach Metal Detecting Adventure

New for Fall 2026. Hunt the beach with a metal detector for lost rings, jewelry and coins, and keep what you find. Your 3-hour guided hunt starts with a quick training and a seeded bonus hunt, then you search with a waterproof detector and pinpointer. Real beach finds are not guaranteed. A mid-hunt break includes fresh local snapper ceviche with chips and bottled water. Two people can share one detector as a team. You can detect on dry sand or in the water, up to chest deep. It's your choice. No experience needed. A quick 2-minute lesson gets you hunting. Kids under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
