Question on hunting dry, sanded in beaches. Deepest machines?

[Dancer]

Narrow this question to the beaches that are heavily sanded, and used. Take out, black sand, emi, iron. Just your average tourist beach. Now it seems that good targets coins, gold/ silver start to sink rather quickly. So this goes on day after day during the season. Many are scooped up as people start to pickup to leave. Then the day break hunters come in until the beach starts to crowd. So what's not found that day sinks to a level. Next day same thing, New level added. Rather quickly, everything sinks past my or your machines depth. So here comes a hunter with one of the deeper machines out there. I would think that he should be able to hit a level beyond my machine, but not quite out of his machines range. There should be a level of targets to keep him very busy the whole hunt, I would think. But I've only read about the occasional deep target or so being found. I'm thinking there is something wrong with my thinking here.
But, Many of us who mud hunt have come across hunted sites with only the deepest targets left. So something's up. I really hope the guys who have some ideas about this help me on this.

I use my White's TDI with a 18 inch Jimmy Sierra big foot coil or my Detector Pro Headhunter Pulse with a Eric Foster 10 inch custom coil.

I also have a Excal 1000 with a 15 x 12 inch SEF coil and the pin point mod.

You also need a custom scoop set up.

I don't hunt the dry sand but I would bet you don't leave much for anyone else to find...Nice tools!

It depends on if you want discrimination (to pass iron, that is), or not. If you're ok with nails, bobby pins, thumbtacks, paper clips, etc.... then as was said: Any of various pulse machines. Like the TDI for instance, will get as much as 1.5 ft, or a tad more, on coins.

Or heck, you can even get the Minelab pulse nugget machines, and probably get 2 ft. on some coins!

But if you needed some semblence of iron ID, then perhaps the Sov with Wot coil. That too can get nearly 1.5 ft. on coins WHILE passing iron. But is fishy and wishy washy to get used to.

And an old 1266 can do well over a foot in dry white sand too, but ..... can be quite , uh, noisy. And not sure how accurate iron ID is at the deeper of those depths.

Most have found here in FL......... if its sanded in its sanded in beyone any of our machines. We arent talking about 3 or 4 inches .... which in Fl is about what a good PI will get over other machines. Some beaches have those dreded beach sweepers fluffling up the sand. Then we get the afternoon rains that flattens it back to hard pan here. Ive been here after a hurrican where it can take off a lot of beach........ nothing much to be found but trash. I think having 3 shifts of hunter we do a pretty good job of getting more of the recent drops than you think. Unless you are using a PI to slowly grid digging it all and have patience........ you will find a disc machine to have less depth and the tones change or null on the really deep stuff because of wrap around ...... so you are going to disc yourself right out of a good target if you arent hunting in PP digging it all....... and at that point you might as well have a PI with a very low PD like the TDI. There are all kinds of ways to hunt....... so match your machine with that.
