Seems like us beach hunters might benefit if we all removed a little bit of iron from the beaches, otherwise 'iron-masking' is gradually going to become more of a problem for everybody. I realize that some beaches are just too iron-rich to make this feasible [you would be digging almost ALL iron], but I've started to dig a little bit of iron lately, especially if good signals are sparse. I've also hunted beaches where iron signals were rare, and I've passed them over. So, my approach depends on my mood. If I find a good cut or erosion area where both iron and high conductors are plentiful, I'll "strip mine" the area to help unmask the good signals. No moral stand here....just curious about the habits of my fellow beach hunters. - Jim
