active beaches vs the senior crowd...who loses more ?

[scrounger d detector collector]

well today i got a taste of a different kind of beach and i didnt think it was very good.

i have been hunting a nice active beach with a good mix of younger folk, families and seniors.

it has lots of busnesses and resturants close to water [alcohol served] and is pretty hoppin. much activity

including surf, some swimming, football catch and frisbee throwing.

i did pretty good there.

today i hooked up w lacey333 and his wife/girlfriend .

we went to a beach where the crowd seeemed to be most all seniors.

about the most activity happening were a couple games of bacce ball.

i found one jewelry item which was fake. so it coulda been succesfull had the item been real.

these people are obviously wealthy and loaded w gold.

but i doubt much of it gets lost as they do nothing much other than sunning and a little stroll.

however, the small quantity lost would contain some true trophy pcs.

personally i will be back to the active beach.

whats your experiance on this ?

I would have to agree, the more active the crowd, the more they lose. Most of those seniors dont get around much, and the ones that do, dont have much gold on. Go to the beaches with lots of people. I was just in Hollywood, FL, and the beaches are pretty bad, really sanded in, not much near the water. Some beaches on that coast area, are worn away, and even though they are hit a lot, still have a lot of targets.

The active beaches always have more targets, but this was well explained by the Master.

Maybe the seniors are more careful with their jewelry! 8)

I'm a senior and for sure...we old ladies are careful with our gold...lol! We don't have as many men that will buy us replacements anymore.....

Even though I prefer to relax at quiet beaches, I plan on hitting the active ones to detect!

I look for beaches where everyone goes to. To play football, volley ball, throw freebies and any other kind of game on the land or water I find more stuff there......Matt

May he rest on every beach he's ever hunted !!......Jim

There is a reason for the saying " Young and Dumb " .....Younger people are very active and don't think about what jewelry they are wearing that they try to impress with ...... Older people remember the hard times , and remember what it took to buy a NICE ring or pendant or ? ......They have those pieces at home or in the bank locked up safely !!.....Their days of impressing people are over .... They've learned !!.....Jim
