[QUOTE="Joshwasere, post: 50008, member: 1861"] Here are some of the tricks Ive learned! I rekon one of the best things you can do (if you live close to the beach) is to go midday and see where people hang out at the beach and head down later in the arvo. Also think about where people would instinctively sit, even where you would sit on the sand! both for people swimming and not swimming. - on rises and mounds near beach entrance paths- and flat areas not too far from the water ( look for marks in the dry sand where towels were layed out - but do not hop from towel marks to towel marks as not all the good stuff is dropped here!). Over all though you need a good method for covering the richest baring areas in good time. Being right handed I go in large rectangular anti clockwise circles, dragging one foot to make a line in the sand and follow my path round and round and continue many of these up the beach. I use clumps of seaweed or even where the sand changes wetness or colour as points to move to or whatever other objects I can see to help with the circles. Also have a swing around the headlands where you can see bedrock and cracks or where you find eroding banks. I especially love detecting areas with potato/ rockmelon sized rocky areas on headlands etc here you should be lucky enough to find some old stuff! Hope this helps a little! Josh [/QUOTE]
