It can both ways. It can shift sands around and open up new areas or push in more sand covering things up. I hope it opens up some cuts for you. :-\

Wind can be a blessing or not. I hope you are using headphones with the detector. For real knowledge on hunting the beaches you should visit http://thegoldenolde.com/

Good Luck,

As a general rule,the winter storms(Northeasters)take out sand and winter is usually the best
in your area for water/beach hunting.This is of course the general rule.Look for cuts in the
sand or scolloped areas along the beach and hunt the low areas.And as for your detector not
being top of the line,I don't know if I agree with that one.Pretty far up there.Not sure if that
detector is rain/splash proof,but if not get a cover for it.You should do good with that machine
in the winter,after the storms.And ,as always,follow the rules-pick up your trash ,fill your holes,
etc.,and enjoy that great detector.HH Joe
