Do lobster trap pieces tend to end up on the high-tide/upper part of the beach on most beaches?
Was meeting someone in NH yesterday and afterwards went detecting on a small stretch of beach in Rye from about 6-11. I've never heard so much iron on a beach! (Though I haven't hit the beach much yet.) Once the tide started going down I noticed that it was getting clearer and clearer of iron as I followed the water line out. After it went out a certain distance, they became quite rare. So I was wondering if that was just this beach or if that happens on a lot of beaches.
(Found a silver crescent earring within 5 minutes and then only two quarters, a nickel, one pulltab, and a tiny copper doohicky the whole rest of the time. (Nevermind a few lobster trap pieces that sounded like they MAY have been hiding something else.) A non-iron signal was extremely rare. It got to the point that I would have been happy to dig a pulltab!)
