[QUOTE="Nugget, post: 16286, member: 3"] Gold jewellery is quite heavy and tends to sink quicker than other types of jewellery, so most of it will still be sitting at the lowest point (bed rock, condensed clay or whatever it may be) where it was first dropped. But over time due to the natural erosion process, jewellery can work its way down into low lying traps, pockets etc with much of it eventually making it's way out to sea. It can take years and years for this to happen and will vary from beach to beach. You can learn a lot by studying the beach after a big coastal storm, high seas etc, looking for low points and indicators of where jewellery might end up. I usually keep an eye on coastal cams for a couple of days prior to heading out and mainly target high traffic areas rather than studying the coastline which can be a bit hit and miss. Though I have heard of guys doing quite well using this method so it's probably worth looking into some more if you have the time. Nugget. [/QUOTE]
