Nice pics. I know exactly where you are as that's where I go also. I guess it's still too early in the season to find any of the goddies yet. The sand isn't moving out the way it was expected I guess. The water is still a bit cold for me. I'll wait until the warmer weather gets here to join you guys.
 
It looks darn cold though, BRRR! Once the sand starts to shift, that monster coil is going to do you proud.

Cheers,

I'am really seeing what this coil can do!! every hunt gets better and better....I'm getting a little sore on diggin super deep zincs though!!!! I sent in my first story about the coil to Whites it will be in Marches customer stories...they gave me $100 worth of free stuff to choose from the acssesory catalog...since April 2007 they have given me over $500 dollars for photo's and stories of by Beach Hunter ID finds!! I love Whites!!!:whites::usaflag::clapping::thumbup:
 
When does the sand shift? Does it shift in the southern states at around the same time too or is this something unique to the north? I've thought about going to Old Orchard or the Popham area for something to do but its an hour+ drive one way. It must be cold as hell on the beach right now too! You guys are hard core BH!

It is STILL snowing up here btw. We are in a lull right now but more due on Tue-Wed. There's about two feet of snow in my back yard. How large a coil do you need to be able to shoot 3 feet? :rolleyes:
 
I hunted Salisbury back in the late 80s and was always amased how much that beach could change from day to day. I was just there for 10 weeks but enjoyed the stay. thanks for sharing your nice loot and pics. HH
 
The sand does move with every change of the tide but the real question is how much does it shift and is it enough to uncover buried treasures? Winter storms are generally more prevalent than in the other seasons, depending on your location as hurricanes become a factor as well. Large movements of sand are more likely to stir up a beach and bring targets into detecting range. Gold and Silver are heavier than the surrounding sand so they sink until they find a level of sand compaction that will support them, usually this is beyond the detecting range of your detector so a major movement of sand may remove the overburden and aloow you to get to the good finds. I've attached an illustration of a typical beach and the effects of storms on it to help explain what I mean.

Figure 1. The coastal sand-sharing system, fair weather and foul. In fair weather, collapsing breakers and tides move sand onto the beach from offshore bars (A), sometimes creating a narrow tidepool on the beach (B). In foul weather, spilling and plunging breakers erode sand from the beach and carry it offshore to form sandbars (C). In major storms, high waves and tides move sand over and between sand dunes to form overwash fans behind the dunes (D). Overwash events often carry sand onto roads and buildings built close to the beach.

:thumbup:Anytime Boston Bob, I realize that as surf pirates we all know what these conditions are like but it's helpful to understand the science behind it. If it means even one more gold ring in the scoop it's worth it.:thumbup:
