I have dabbled in the dry sand at small beaches a couple of times. This week I went to LBI with the family and managed to get out twice for a total of 4 hours. I found about $5 in clad (mostly quarters) I'm guessing ice cream money that was fumbled in the mad dash to catch the truck. I found one pink aluminum ring.

All in all I was pleased, but how do you do it all day every day? I found the following things to be true about the beach.

Digging is easier, but EVERYTHING else is harder.

-swinging the coil (I skimmed the sand)
-walking (my calves are killing me)
-finding targets (it was a very clean beach)
-covering the hunting area (a lot of space)

All of you have my utmost respect. I can only imagine what hunting neck deep is like.

Thanks for all of your posts and advice. I am hoping to get back to the beach very soon.
