Tip Clip #2....(video)

[size=large]This time around I visit a flat beach with no obvious "roadsigns" pointing the way to coins and jewelry. These are a couple of techniques that I use to find those little coin patches that will (hopefully) put me in the "Gold ring neighborhood". [/size]

Excellent series of Vid's SD, Good for new & old Pirate's!
Hope to see some from your trip in May also, maybe from dig & jess since your star bruce won't be there..Thanks....joe
 
Thanks again! Good stuff - the spiral idea is new to me and makes a lot of sense so it's going straight in my tool box.
 
Thanks for the tip Surfdigger but I am starting to get discouraged with beach hunting. Today is was my 10th attempt at beach hunting and did not find any jewlry today.
Not sure why I am not finding rings. My detector is pretty good, it is a Safari and finds clad very deep in dry or wet sand.

Totay all my finds, Pennies, dimes and quarters were all very deep. Not one of them less than 6 inches, I mean I had to dig deep holes for them so I am pretty sure if I only put my coil a ring I would get one but not haviing much luck. All the coins I have found were around the mid tide line NOT at waters edge at low tide as others suggest.

I have not found a single ring yet. Only jewelry have found was on the beach and was a silver earring that was only a couple inches down and came in like gangbusters.

Today I was doing a zigzag then after a hit a 20' grid.

Is there anything I am doing wrong? I read about people who get 3-4 rings a day, I've been to 9 beaches so far and haven't got a single ring.

Really starting to get discouraged over beach detecting.

Tomorrow we're going relic hunting. I seem to have good luck with that.

Not to many people get that many rings a day unless its a undetected beach.
Your turn will come when you least expect it.
Also if no jewelry was ever dropped you'll never find any no matter how hard you try.
Have you tried burying jewelry at the beaches and seeing if your detector will find it ?
Grid and hunt low and slow dig those whispers .
