Truth is you CAN find good stuff anywhere, any time at the beach. Its just that the odds of finding what you want are usually poor to worse. .....
Past-tom, I would say there is sometimes wet-sand conditions, where you will NOT find a single target, no matter HOW hard you look. And no matter how much real-estate @ the inter-tidal zone you cover. If the sand "came back in" to the tune of, say ... 1 ft. over night. Then you're the lucky guy to arrive there at the time the tide has pulled out, then you will indeed find truly sterile soil.
Is it possible that someone dropped a dime or quarter there in *just* the preceding 3 hrs ? SURE ? But seriously now .... is that fruitful ?
If I arrive on the beach and can see nothing but soft-spongy "coming in" sand as-far-as-the-eye can-see, then I am certainly not going to waste time.
