SaltwaerTreasure. you should try swing your coil a different way. I myself do not swing my coils when i am walking. I also swing both ways before i move !!

So by reading what you wrote you stand in one spot swing both ways-then move stop-swing both way?
That's really different-

The person detecting needs to slow down the pace, and the swinging of the coil.
Look at the video and the swinging of the coil they're doing ZZZZ/WWW type of swings.
Missing more than what is being covered by the coil.

Remember it's not a race to cover an acre of beach in a few minutes of detecting.
Sure there's the chance of recoveries is warranted , but the success of hunting anywhere is taking the time and swinging the coil where the coil is overlapping the previous coil swing by a little bit.
Ya it takes so long to cover that acre-but the recoveries will be significantly better.

That's really different-
Depending on the machine your using and how fast the processor is. Take a good coin target and a rusty nail lay them close together. Swing so you hit the coin first. Then swing so you hit the nail first then the coin. If they are close enough together the Nail will not recover fast enough to see the coin

I move a half coil at a time forward

If i am doing a ring recovery I Check ALL THE AREA !. When people are walking they mist a lot of area . They are usually doing a Z Search

Yeah, I hate to discourage saltwatertreasure from making more videos, but, he definitely didn't live up to his screen name on this one. If he's serious about beach hunting and videoing it, I suggest a better detector with a bigger coil, not getting too close to bathers, use a proper finds pouch, and getting a good quality sand scoop for recoveries. Videos like this one will turn people off to seeing more of your videos. Sorry, but, it's just too boring....
