With your g 250 i would stick to the dry sand if you want to find the gold rings ect you need to work the mid beach to the low water mark on the wet sand but you will need to get a better beep a sov gt is very good for the price you can pick them up second hand and a good ss scoop.

You will find the odd one but you will find lots on the wet sand.

Hi Malcolm,

I found this YouTube video useful:

" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Hope it helps!

if the beach is a big one, just detect along the low water mark, also stand on the high water mark and look for low spots, gulleys etc, if the beach has a freshwater stream, thats usually lower and the freshwater stops the salt giving false signals, not totally but enough to find things.
when you get into it you will find "sweet spots" on a beach where finds get washed into.
