Just talking from experience Mike - you don't necessarily need a particularly low, low, tide  !
Most of my best finds have been fom the high tide mark or just below.  I remember I had an 18ct diamond ring found as soon a I turned the detector on many moons ago and that was at the top of the beach!!!   Also the sovereigns came from the top of the beach.
Paul - my brother even had a sovereign and God knows he is a beginner !!!

well done Badger Grin youve done a months detecting in five days and fair play youv've got the rewards. That beach is the best its been at low water for 7 years and youve got to go when its good because once it fills in it may not return untill the next cycle which may be another 7 years. Shocked Shocked
 Youv'e got to invest in a small digital weighing scale their only about a tenner on ebay and you can work out yourself the scrap gold value -just google  current scrap gold values and they give you prices per gram .Armed with your weight and value you can haggle with dealers .Be sure to shop around - some buyers who like the ring with the stone will give you a price for the value of the ring which they will re-sell as a piece of jewelry - this will be higher than its scrap value.
Whatever you do don't be tempted to send your stuff away in an envelope to internet dealers -that could be dodgy.
If your interested there's a chap/girl  in Aberavon center -opposite argos he will re-sell good rings and give you a good price and he will give you cash there and then. Theres also a goldsmith/pawn broker along the same mall who will buy rings to re -sell they are pretty good too. Neil (admin) on this forum will buy gold and its worth giving him a PM . Best of luck and it will be interesting to see the results of your survey  can't wait - happy hunting

Yes - obsessive compulsive detecting, but you do seem to have the Midas touch.  Keep it up.  Wink

Aw thanks Mike, only joking. I dont think I'd be able to use it. The Garrett is just about the limit weight wise.  Having said that if I see you on the beach I'll have a swing then.  Cheesy
