Hello,

I was surprised to find some sharp glass (not pictured) and a hypodermic needle in the sand when Metal Detecting the Santa Cruz beach Sunday 3/27/2011. I also find lots of nails and other sharp objects. I say be careful and at least carry band-aids!

Check this picture out:

Santa Cruz Trash - 3/27/2011

If you need to, click the image above and zoom in to see the needle and the other dangerous stuff! Next time you see a metal detectorist out there cleaning these things out of the sand thank him!

I did find some good stuff but not much:
