Speedy detectorists

[dirtdigger1581]

I notice a lot of beach hunters are moving at pretty quick speeds and don't really overlap coil sweeps. Seems like there is a lot of ground not being covered. Do you find this hunting style to be more productive than slowing down and overlapping coil sweeps? I've been out at the beach the last two nights and I tend to go slow and overlap. I pulled a silver womens ring two nights ago and a 10K gold mens wedding band last night. Whenever I speed up and try the fast paced methods I see on the beach and in videos my targets go down considerably. I guess this fast paced method must work for some people, but just seems like a lot of ground is being missed, and you might be walking right over that next piece of gold.

Your thoughts?...

If you marked off a 100x100 foot area and planted 10 random targets, who would find more in one hour? The guy going slow, overlapping, and gridding or the guy running around like a maniac? Dont call me OverkillOverkill even if I deserve it.

Well if you plant them 18 inches deep then the grid guy, for sure! If you put them on top then the speedster!

The guy guying slow & overlapping Especially if they are buried deeper. Swinging haphazardly & too quickly and you miss big gaps in the sand - you have no reference point of where you were or where you're going. Gridding covers all...and gets the gold

After slowing down and reading this reply, I think I can run with this answer.

Just viewed it.

Where's his scoop?

He looked more like a slow paced searcher than a speedster. Course he's not getting much coverage with the stiff arm approach. Hahaha
