Time put in, luck and never giving up most important.
Busy beaches,Posh beaches and again luck.
If your really keen and do not mind giving up the silver and pound coins.
Only dig the low (Foil) to mid tones to maximise gold finding opportunities.
Go two hours before low tide and look for depressions cuts or where the water has washed
in up the beach more than the rest.
That means it is a lower part of the beach.
Tidal drift where I am goes clock wise so look on the left side of rocks to see what gets caught.
Look for sand areas where there are lots of stones mixed with the sand(Hard digging but rewarding)
If you hit lead fishing weights grid that place hard.
Where the sloping beach hits the flat beach try a few meters up the slope to a 10 meters out in a w pattern.
Buy a minelab lol if not all ready owned or a PI if your popeye with big arms.
My best investment was a good scoop 3-4 times quicker than a spade so more targets taken with less effort in the same time.\
The best tip thou when the summer comes back the best stuff is in the water.
In all my years detecting and seeing loads of detectors on the beach I have never met any one else in the water.
Walk out at low tide on most beaches and it gets deeper then shallower again hunt in the trough and the top of where it gets shallow again.
Having said that I have found rings on the dry but think wet to water better.
Never leave a sh*t signal 1000 will be s**t but one will be that stoned small ladies ring $$$. BLING
Go when the weather is rough big waves and big tide will take meters of the top a beach then hunt the top(Best days ever)
The real biggy thou if you ever go on holiday take the tector.
France Australia Spain have all been good to me but it is here in the UK if you put the time in.
Never give up My worst stint was more than a 100 hour with no bling
Then one day you might get a hand full.
Happy hunting
