Where on the beech is the best place to search

[Fawcedani87]

Where do you guys find the best finds......

Near the water line at low tide, or further up the beech in the dry sand.

Never seem to have any luck with searching on the beach. Hundreds of bottle tops, and 4/5 modern coins.

Personally I would say it's all about observation:-
1 - How does the tide affect the sand movement of the beach ?
2 - How does the wind direction affect the movement of the beach material ?
3 - Where do people congregate on the beach ?
4 - Where do other metal detectorist's go - they probably know their beaches
To coin an old phrase - look, learn , listen and you won't go far wrong .
I've been walking and searching on beaches for 60 years and I'm still learning - it's an ever changing situation

Around the roots is traditional.

coins are usually lost on parts where people change clothes or sit and take things out of a bag.
as for the bottle caps, keep in mind people don't come to lose coins or rings however it seems ok to toss garbage around even with trash bins nearby, you will always have more trash then good targets on recreation areas.

hard to quanify due to activity at the beach .where did folks walk and unload boats /sit down on deck chairs

old books on tecting say near the stairs and ice cream vans .other say where theres black silt from human activity, theyre all different

on the thames foreshore the farthr you went from the wall at high tide the less you found ,,ie low down foreshore less was found

Magpie nest up in branches also possible.
