Daytona Beach was super clean this weekend

[flotsam]

My wife and I pounded and dug in the sand for a 5 or 6 hours. Found a few coins and hardly any trash. We did get a little excited when we dug up a flat rock. It ended up being a penny. Caught a nice red from the surf.

What part of Daytona did you hunt in relation to the Hilton and the Boardwalk?

We hunted from the pier north about 3 miles back and fourth.

Were you hunting dry sand, wet sand or in the water? I was there last Sat night and was finding lots of clad, no jewelry , as well as trash from the slobs who are too lazy to take their cans to the trash, but I was mainly hunting wet sand to knee deep as I was trying out the new Sov and Wot coil....

Good luck, I'm hunting this weekend again, but not sure what time just yet. Maybe I will see you there.

St. Augustine beach is the same way, even past the renourishment areas there is just a ton of sand on everything in the summer. We need a good storm to cut it up. Went today and it was real clean except for a bit of surface trash from the touristas, but I managed a nice pocket knife (crkt m-16, but the lower end one, still nice Tanto blade). Try all the holes the kids and parents dig, might find a ring or something in the hole, or surrounding piles of sand. Also look for yesterday's holes that are filled in. I always check a six-foot circle when I see the telltale beach chair cuts where people were sitting, often there will be foot holes right in front, and hand diggin's on either side. Just something else to check when it gets deeply sanded, I can't wait for a TS, can do without the hurricane upgrade though for sure!

We were working both, dry and wet sand.

It is not what it appears to be. the beach changes and gives up booty when it wants to.
Persevere and you will succeed. it may take many times of getting nothing trips, but when the beach decides to spit up the goods it will indeed spit. The stuff is right where you went over last time but it was out of reach of your coil. But maybe not this time grasshopper.
Persevere!

Here ya' go, we have a decent NE wind and rain for a day or so, that will get some sand off the beach. Check the cuts and slews of water, etc. Keep at it, that one great day will offset the others for sure.
