Out of all the jewellry and coins you guys find in a season,what percentage would you say come from the dry sand and the wet sand.
 
Dry..It might be because so many detectors hit the wet, and a fellow can cover a lot of ground on the dry in a hurry. When you say wet, I assume you mean wading? Yes I guess dry has been better for me thinking back.

I found six silver rings since I started detecting in August. Four of them came from sand that was still wet from the outgoing tide and two of them came from dry sand along a street where people parked. The only ring I found on the dry sand was a big U S Army ring that is junk metal.
 
We hunt the Great Lakes up here, so theres not much of a tide, and there is not too many days in the year a fellow can get out in the surf, its usually too cold and rough, but on the days when its warm and flat, its water time. The beaches get swept pretty clean by detectorists daily in season from the waters edge to 30 yds inland. I guess its a factor in the the location.

So far this year, all my rings that I found were in a wet area. There are some tot lots I want to go to in the next couple weeks that might change all that. HH.
 
I havent found much (about 24hrs of beach hunting) but all my rings were in the dry sand.
