Average time spent mding on beach

[beached whale]

Just wondering what the average time spent swinging on the beach. I use a bh landstar so I'm not in the water much,though the dealer said I could use the manual ground balance to use in the salt water just not to get the box wet. lol

Of course this will vary a lot depending on the weather, beach, and person not counting if they are bored from not hearing a beep or they're tired from all that digging.

When I hunt I try to spend about four to six hours depending of course how tired I get. I get tired sooner now so I am down to four hours max.

I usually attempt 4 to 5 hours and will keep at it if I have enough Gatorade or water to keep me going.

I go 3 to 4 hours. When i start getting tired i leave. for me swinging a metal detector in the water knocks me out after 3 hours.

I try to hit the beach at least a minimum of 3 hours before the low tide and I hunt several hours past low tide. I usually hunt till I am too sore to walk any more.

My average hunt is between 4 to 7 hours depending on when low tide is (Day or Night). Some times I will hunt both low tides if they fall in the right time span with a break in between during the high tide......

2-3 hrs for me. Usually 2 times a day though, unless the wife is with me then, that would be cut down.

 

[mumszie]

Whooooeee! I can only make the 2-3 hour mark. Occasionally I might make 4 hours but that is rare for me. No wonder it takes me longer to find good stuff!

I'm retired and old! at 60 I'm only good for about 3 hrs in the water or land.i ware a brace on my right arm from Tennis elbow so bad it pops when i bend it.! but i go every day if i can.in the water the coil has no weight but a lot of resistance on the swing. on land the weight kills my torn cartilage in my shoulder..but from my cold dead hands they will have to pry my detector! LOL!

About 4 hours then 1/2 hour lunch break and another 4 hours. I find it hard to do 2 days in a row. Every other day is the most I have energy for.

6-10 HOURS, WATER AND PISS BREAK. MAYBE TWO IF NOT DOING SO WELL OR DOING REAL WELL!!!!! IF I'M NOT DIGGING I'M NOT FINDING. BEST WAY TO FIGURE IS DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU. IF WANT A PARTNER, FIND ONE WITH THE SAME STAMINA. NOTHING LIKE STOPPING BECAUSE YOU PARTNER CAN'T HANDLE IT, OR VISA/VERSA. IF YOU HAVE ONE JUST KNOW THAT IT IS OK TO STOP WHEN YOU NEED TO AS EVERYDAY IS A NEW DAY WITH DIFFERENT RESULTS, DOES THIS MAKE SENSE? OR AM I JUST BLABING.......HAVE FUN AND FILL HOLES EVEN IF WATER WILL FILL IT LATER, IT MAKES US LOOK BETTER TO THE WORLD. IF YOU DIG IT UP PICK IT UP!!!! IS MY MODO.
