So LBI was kind of a bust. Need more time there and better tide times I really want to get out in the water. I did score some clad and caps. Also the beach I'm on is turned over with a tractor every morning not sure if that affected my results.

Raking or plow.
Any machine movement of sand makes objects go deeper.
Have to go low an slow and listen for the whispers.
Or get a Big coil.

It was one of these beasts and I'm assuming they have a coin and gold collecter build in lol . All the stuff I found was in dry sand and was about 8 at 10 inches in they rang great sand is loose from grooming. I wanted to get in the low tide area do some looking in the swim area but it was always so busy at low tide time. Maybe next year. For now I'll hammer the PA hills

Yup
They use something similar on my favorite beaches.
I have the best luck in winter.
Especially after a good NorEaster on lake Erie.

Times they are a changin.... I live in Point Pleasant and the coin totals are waaaaayyyyy down. Not many people use cash any more.. ON LBI, no need for cash at the beach. As far as jewelry,
there's little to none and mostly all fake crap. Today a guy asked me to look for his 'silver' bracelet. I found it in one swing. Iy was just silver plated copper, junk. I was shocked when he handed me a $20. Thanks, paid for the gas this week !!!

Its mighty slim pickins out there nowadays. There probably good stuff just off shore but have had and wave or wind action to bring it in. The Atlantic is usually too rough to hunt in the water,
Just as you plant yourself to dig, a wave will knock you down. The other problem with LBI is it has all been replenished as most of the Jersey shore after hurricane Sandy

Next time, head up to Harvey Cedars and Loveladies. Where the $$$ is. Plus if there's any surf & winds, it usually will erode up there.

Better luck next year !!!

I have detected right behind those machines and have found coins… from what I have seen, they pick up bigger items like cans, plastic bags, and such.

Thanks for the advise and the good wishes for next year. I had forgotten about them dredging all that sand back to shore after the storms. It's cool you could get that guy his stuff back and be rewarded. We have done a week in the same place for 15 + years and this is my first year swinging, I was happy to find anything looking forward to next year
