rings?

[gunnovice09]

Do the majority of u find rings in the surf or on the beach?

I have found rings form the high tide line to ankle deep on salt water beaches. There are rings in the water as well if your willing to wade with a water machine as deep as you dare. Rings are also in the dry sand, just harder to get from all the junk in between.

The majority of rings are found in the wet sand and in the water. They are lost from playing in the water so thats where you need to look. The beach changes after every high tide and low tide episode so what's not there right now may be there after the tide changes.

Good luck

Ive found changing it up helps improve my chances. During Spring Break there werent as many people in the water.... mostly kids. So i started doing more dry sand hunting and picked up some nice pieces of jewelry and yes gold rings. Surprisingly i rarely find gold rings in the wet sand it could be the angel of the beaches i hunt.... thou i do find an occasional silver ring and lighter jewelry in the trash line. I even found an American Eagle silver dollar recently in the dry sand near the towel line. You have to know your beach and watch the people. Tides change where they set.... or dont set. Also tides pull and push the shore line sand moving targets to the edge or into the water..... especially surface targets like coins.

As odd as it may seem, the answer depends on the beach, currents, surf, depth of water below the water line and the make-up of crowd using the beach!!

Generally the answer to your question might be ----- Yes!!

There are beaches where as much gold has been found above the water line as below because of the dynamics of that particular beach.

This is an overall fact that I read in a book before most of the people that are detectting now. About 20 years ago.Garrett wrote it.

I would very much agree there are more rings in the water but I have found plenty of rings in the wet sand and at the water edge. A buddy last year found an 1800 dollar gold and diamond ring 5ft from the high tide line about 6 inches deep. I have a hunting buddy that never hunts in the water and he has a ring collection that would blow your socks off along with gold chains and gold grill teeth.

Don't short your self by not hunting the wet sand. Where do you think people lose rings at high tide when they are playing in the water? It is the wet sand at low tide is where they lose it. It depends on the slope of the beach, the surf, the tides, storms etc. etc. The beach changes all the time, but low tide and in the water is your greatest advantage.

but I also feel the tide brings them in from the surf, I'm just not too crazy in going chest to neck deep in the Gulf, I have seen some big Tiger Sharks come out from there, some guys still fish for them, they will get on an inner tube with a dead chicken on the hook, paddle out, drop the line and paddle back.........Crazy!
