I just got a spiffy, nice metal detector and want to take reb junior out to find treasure with it. I live in Southeast Houston and my first thought was to go down to a less-crowded beach in galveston. Any other suggestions?

Take it to the store where you bought it and hope they will give you your money back.

Elementary school yards is where I started with my CZ-5. I found lots of coins, rings, bracelets, class rings,
Etc. kinda fun. After I got my machine tech down I started getting permission from farmers that had old homesteads on their place. There I found coins as well but much older stuff. Silver coins. From there we started researching small town history along the Brazos and stumbled on an old campground on the Brazos banks near Richmond. Found military coat buttons, militaria of various sorts. Anyway, just start somewhere and the rest will follow. Make sure you follow rules and get permission. I happened to be working a brand new subdivision along the Brazos where I got permission from a couple of future homeowners. Once youre in, you have run of the place until development is complete.

So cool. I did a very small amount of research on civil war camps in our area and didn't come up with much. Guess I should have dug deeper!
Have read about people having good luck finding old stuff on the tx city dike but the legality seems iffy.
I don't have the balls to go door knocking in old neighborhoods but you might, I have mostly hit parks in my 50s neighborhood. Poke around big old oak trees but prepare to be frustrated at signals that are under big roots. I also like poking around old rest stops when I'm driving a long way, but they are pull tab and bottlecap central.
I don't know why you'd go to a less-crowded beach to find stuff, the crowded beaches are where people drop stuff! You just need to go at less-crowded times...
oh and I don't know how old reb jr is but I have a blast MDing with my 3 year old, he has enjoyed hearing the machine "bonk" since he could first walk

Seat cushions at strip clubs. Just think of the lost change fortune you could get your hands on once you reach down and dig around!
I bet there's a real treasure at Treasure's just waiting to be found by you!

There are some open fields off 45 near League City. No telling what you'll find.
