hunting pismo beach in off season

[pannergonedetecting]

Well here we are in November. Ive traveled to the central coast to visit family on Vandenburg AFB. Was thinking about swingin my coil over pismo beach sometime early next week. Its a BH Lonestar so ill be in the dry/edge of wet sand( comments noted Sandman) any one have luck in the offseason? I guess ill be going after what all of yall missed last summer. Im thinking if i hug the dunes and go where others have only dared i should get something shiny for my efforts. Any thoughts on this? Best off season finds?

Actually, when you refer to "off-season" I have to chuckle. An aweful lot of CA beach hunters specifically go in what you're referring to as the "off season", because that can actually be the best time to go! If you're going during the summer, then you're just getting random modern recent losses. But if you go during the winter erosion times, mother nature does all the work for you, compiling years or decades of targets in to nice neat lines for you to harvest.

A lot of the hardcore veterans here don't even hunt in the summer at all (unless there's some sort of summer southern hemi swells spinning all the way up to this part of CA). I mean, yeah, if dry sand hunting is your bag, then sure, summer hunting. But if you've ever been "in the zone" of awesome erosion style hunting, you'll never return to dry sand or random-wet-wandering again!

Just gotta research the buoy reports and tide charts. Trouble is, even vast portions of a lot of winters can be lame, since weeks or months, even in winter, can remain below high-surf-advisory levels.

I was at Pismo beach about 6 weeks ago, nice beach. I only had a couple of hours but did find a 42g silver bracelet about 20 yds south of the public pier in the wet sand. Good Luck!
