just wondering. i`m in los angeles and conditions in the wet sand have been poor so far. i dont usually do the dry sand, but i`m thinking that may be the only place to get anything.

Why the dry sand? Conditions now are better than they have been for years for wet sand. You just have to scout around. Some areas have over a foot of new sand deposits, while others have 2-4 feet of sand removed. Find the areas that have been depleted of sand. I've been
finding ALOT of old corroded coins in depleted sand areas in SD. There
is bound to be alot of gold there, just haven't found it yet!

Bouys show surf is 12-16 feet in LA area right now. Might want to wait another day so you don't get washed out to sea!

With the high surf and high tide combination we had last week. Some wet sand/water hunters did ok. I myself found one 14K band and 5 or 6 silver items. The attached photo was taken last week.
