Who Else Wants to Discover How Metal Detecting Can Uncover Priceless Treasure In 7 Days Or Less?"
I know you are going to say that these pictures are just not true! However you can look up the web metal detector treasures pictures. and you will find the full details of each find.
Maybe it’s the sound of the waves hitting the shore. Maybe it’s the sound of the seagulls flying overhead. Or maybe the allure is the soft sand that hides things like lost jewelry or money.
Whatever your attraction is, metal detecting at your local beach is truly a unique and exciting hobby. But with the growing popularity of metal detecting at beaches, you really have to have a few secrets up your sleeve in order to be the one that makes the great finds!
One way to search a beach is called gridding the beach. Gridding the beach is a method that metal detectorists use to cover a small area of a beach in order to increase their finds. This method is different from random searching because you’re not trying to cover the whole beach in a couple of hours.
Instead, you pick a location that has been well traveled and begin a search pattern. For example, you could walk a straight pattern where you start from the high beach line and head toward the low tide line, then step a foot over, turn around, and walk back up to the high bank line where you started. Or try a sideways straight pattern where you detect sideways at the high bank line, turning after you go 12 feet or so and stepping a foot over. Or there’s the circular pattern, where you start at the center of the beach and move in a larger and larger circles.
Gridding the beach allows you to create lines in the sand with your feet in order to mark where you’ve searched -- eliminating the possibility that you’ll re-trace your steps.
Another frequently overlooked way to metal detect at the beach is to do some saltwater hunting. This requires a special waterproof metal detector. In saltwater hunting, you use the low tides to give you access to parts of the water that are difficult to get to and may therefore contain valuable treasures.
The challenge in saltwater hunting is that it can be very difficult to pinpoint your targets. The further you are away from the shore, the less trash there is in the water. Things like pulltabs, aluminum pieces, and bottle caps lay in the swash, where the water hits the beach. So if you are finding a lot of trash, you need to go deeper in the water.
If you’re in the water, but you aren’t getting any signals, go for the tiny signals and dig up what other detectorists missed. If you don’t find much, don’t worry. The tide is always moving the sand and might give you a better chance another day.
Summertime is the best time to go metal detecting at the beach. Many people are swimming, surfing, and visiting the beaches in general, which replenishes their store of treasures and creates plenty of targets for you to find.
Start at the most popular beach in your area. Try to go metal detecting early in the morning, or later in the evening after everyone starts to go home, and when most beaches are free to get in.
