This is a question rather than a post about something I found hunting the wet sand.
It seems like it is recommended over and over again to hunt the wet sand at low tide. The reason given is usually because this is an area that at higher tides might be covered with water knee to waist deep.
My question is... is this really the only reason to hunt the wet sand at low tide, or is there some other reason that I am missing?
I keep wondering if the recommendation to hunt the wet sand at low tide is primarily for people that don't ever enter the water with their detector - especially if it is not a waterproof unit. I like to get out to the beach at low tide, but I enjoy detecting in the knee to waist deep water rather than the wet sand. The majority of the good finds I make are out in the water rather than on the wet sand, but I did recently find a really nice 14K ring with 13 small diamonds in the wet sand at the water's edge.
Where do you like to detect at the beach, and what is your rationale behind spending your time in that area, rather than higher up the wet sand or further out in the water?
