The stuff is every where.Everbody tries to over analyze it. It's a hobby if you go over it you'llfind it.

must keep feet very damp to always covered.............the more u cover them, the more gold u find

if feet are dry................JUNK & LIGHTER CITY

For sure you can find stuff everywhere even in your garbagecan...

i was hunting in dry sand for 2 month and found nothing only coins,
since i moved closed to the water i get gold almont every hunt.

analyzing helps a lot, even it;s just a hobby

just about every where except dry sand. It really depends a lot on the dynamics of the beach that you hunt and your timing. What are the characteristics of the beach? Does it stay shallow or get deep quickly? What is the prevalent current? How much tide? Ocean waves or bay waves? Lake/pond? Observe how the beach sand moves and where the people congregate.

Most of the horse-play that takes place on the beach is in a specific area, in waist deep water. The width of the area will vary due to the tide but that area is where I find the most gold. With time, it moves up towards the beach.

I also look in the wave trough area. On some beaches, the waves will create a trough just where the waves break on the sand. Found 3 heavy gold rings in that area.

If you are a water wader, you want the sand to get put up on the beach and if you are a wet/dry sand hunter, you want that sand taken out. A major storm can do either and change your fortunes overnight. Then you have to "make hay while the sun shines", so to speak, because the sand will move as soon as the next weather system comes through.

I never hunt dry sand, rarely hunt wet sand, prefer waist to neck deep water at lowtide... My opinion the best stuff is the deep water..

I will say wet sand and shallow water for most of my gold. Depends on the tides try to hunt shallow water and wet sand on days when the high tide falls between noon and three pm. things lost swimming that day will be easy to get.

I find the majority of my loot in knee to chest deep. Not as much competition out there for the loot. When someone loses their jewelry out there they have NO IDEA where it is. That's my job! Seems like at our beaches that the water's edge is more trashy than in the surf. Galveston surf does not just drop off into oblivion like the oceans, it is real gradual sloping into the depths.

attached is where i like to hunt around the X zone

Y is where we do really good - see low tide tim at X

but Z...........has been good also, especially after some wind

i would say most of the loot is lost around X in and out. it makes its way to Y and after some breeze or big wave action to Z

give me some opinions

Most of my finds have been in waist to neck deep too at low tide. A lot depends on the wind for the deeper water wading. I have also used scuba when the surf is mild at low tide and done well. I only detect dry sand when I am sick or the surf is brutal.
