Ideal conditions for hunting are winds that make the water flat. These conditions are not the best for producing long hidden finds.
I agree..... somewhat. Those flattening winds can produce some real LONG SHORE DRIFTS.... currents that cause rip tides along already established troughs. That moves sand almost as well as good wave action.... especially straight into the beach. Our current sand bar growth isnt helping as to where these cuts are happening.... or not happening. Water movement he in the Gulf can be a matter of finding 1 spot...... and those old pieces of gold can now be reached by the detector. This time of the year .... i wouldnt count on a lot of recent drops.... so work slow and find the pull outs. It seem most of the time the gold in on one end or the other in those troughs.
