Your beach hunting Check List:
1. have a metal detector that can hunt in saltwater. most PI machines or multifrequency detector with a beach mode like the Equinox 800 or Simplex.
2. you have to good choices - in front of very expensive hotels or condos or busy public beaches.
3. find the best public beach in your area by using Google Earth to locate the one with the biggest parking lot.
4. dry sand and do your homework and observe where the towel line is located and hunt it after all have gone in for the day.
5. wet sand - cuts, black sand areas and shallow areas.
6. when you are finding light stuff like poptops, fishing lures (not weights) move on to another area.
7. when you are finding fishing weights and corroded coins, slow down and hunt that area carefully. Remember the ocean tides, wind and waves cause the metal drops to be located by specific gravity. Hence lead weights and jewelry are often found together.
8. when hunting wet areas hunt at low tide, gives you more area to hunt in the drop zone. The drop zone is chest high water where people frolic and swim and lose jewelry that they cannot possibly recover.
9. After a sudden electrical storm hit the towel line for lost jewelry that the gals have left on their towels and got lost when they quickly grabbed their towel and ran for shelter.
10. hunt near the life guard stands people tend to swim more often in those areas for safety reasons.
have fun.
