One awesome thing about metal detection at the sea is you never know what you are going to find. I do have discovered quite a few interesting items plus some that I would've never expected to find. I am persuaded that metal detecting on the water is as great as it gets. The view is always great. Ocean, bikinis, apparent sky, bikinis. You get the idea.
One thing that you'll understand metal detecting at the beach is things are not steady and in fact they move a lot of times. If you don't visit the same beach on a regular basis then you hardly notice what changes are taking place on the sand or the dunes. For example I was at an inlet recently close to the jetty. They have hardwood poles in the fine sand that keep you away from going straight to the jetty. This summer those rods were about six feet tall. The other day they were just about a foot tall. Exactly what does that tell you? There's an awful lot of sand piled up there.
Now that is not always bad. There could be treats in that sand but most likely all of the goodies have been covered up. This is the reason why it is significant for you to bring the required gadgets for the beach, gizmos such as the treasure metal detectors.
You have to learn how to read the beach and every beach is unique. If I cannot find any variations in the sand like cuts, sloughs or troughs then it's a loose pattern I follow when I work which starts from the dunes and winding down to the water and back while I continue up and down the beach. In this way I may be able to see a sticky location.
A sticky spot is where a lot of things have been gathered over the years. Coins and ideally gold. These spots can be up straight to dry sand, in the wet sand and even in water. One good indication of a sticky spot is actually green coins.
They're modern coins which are corroded. They aren't worth anything at all apart from aesthetic value but they do inform you that they have been accumulated for a while in that spot. If you excavate a green coin, stall and scan the full area. When they start out appearing often, it is time to slow down and work a strong grid. Glance back where you have already been and find out if you notice a sequence and work these areas hard because there is usually jewelry around and if you are much like me you might be in search of some gold.
