Got to the beach yesterday at full high tide. There was only 50 ft. or so of dry sand to hunt,so I start finding
coin spills from where towels were laying. I start following the tide out a bit and walk a line where larger rocks
and debris was deposited. High tide line Right? Anyway, I start hitting quarters following this line and they seem
to have been on the beach a while (not all shiney but black and tarnished). I move down further as the tide is going
out and start to find aged nickels and further still pennies and then dimes. I'm guessing that the heavier coins stay
higher up on the beach. Is that accurate to say? And if so, why would you not find rings higher up on the beach
after the tide has fallen as they weigh close to quarters or nickels. I always read posts from guys hunting the surf and
finding all the gold but not much from the beach area. Any better suggestions or tactics I could use to improve my finds?
Oh Yea! I did manage to eyeball a nice digital camera that I returned to a guy walking back toward me.
