Here is what I have learned as a 1 year old newbie.......

I personally thing it depends on the beach conditions, also what kind of unit your using and what kind of hunting your wanting to do. If you have a waterproof unit or just a water proof coil, hunting day or night (i dint like getting too deep at night, things that go bump in the night in the water bite.)


I have found some good finds up close to the seawalls where people sit on blankets, and chairs and so on in the dry sand. Here I look for tell tell signs like holes for beach umbrellas tracks int he sand from chairs and so on.

I have found good finds in the wet sand between the knee deep water line and the end of the wet sand. People still swim at high tide and so closer to the shore line and what they lose is then under water there....

I have found some good finds in the water between knee deep and chin deep. I have got some good signals in water so deep I felt like I was going to darn neared drown trying to get the things before giving up.

For me I had to learn to "read the beach". In knee deep water I look for water signs that tells me there are cuts or holes below surface, swirls, bubbling water, turns in the current.

I look for huge cuts, troughs or holes between the sandbars and the shorelines. They develop, expand, move, and then disappear. Some last a couple hours, some days and some weeks, just moving up or down the beach as the surf fills them in, expands them and then moves.

I prefer the huge troughs that develop between the sand bars and the shore line, and the troughs that develop on the back side of sandbars both close and out deeper.

Hope that helps, it's just what I have learned, but I am by no means an expert, I'm still a learning newbie......I have only been doing this a year, but I'm hooked to the point I now have a Minelab Excal for in the water, a Sovereign GT with WOT coil for backup used at waterline and beach searching and a Whites 6000 Pro XL used for the parks and play grounds..


Good luck and good hunting.
