tides and full moons

[tiggyann]

I have read that you can use the tides, full mooons, new moons, and currents to get better results in metal detecting.

Does anyone here use special times they like to metal detect and why?

I'm trying to learn, I determined to learn!

Seriously now, check out the tide tables on the web for your area and hunt the minus tides as these will give you the most uncovered space to work. Try freetidetables.com and put in the area you want to hunch, I have found their predictions of tide to be reliable. Minus tides (indicated in read on the site above) do happen around the summer and winter solstices most often by the way, but please disregard my humour about the rooster.
A trip to KFC after a good hunt is often in order though, this is hungry work.

Cheers,

That means the Earth has reached that part of it's orbit, which combined with the axial tilt, makes it look like the Sun has reached the furthest point North, or the furthest point South, in it's travels across the sky. Basically, the Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year, and usually falls on or around June 21st. The Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year, and falls on or around December 21st.
