Tried for a little while today..

Hit the beach about 2 hours before low tide, however, we've had so much NE wind the last 3 days low tide was like a normal high tide. The hoop earring is junk. My hunting partner ended up with some clad and a piece of jewelry that came off a necklace or bracelet, it might be .925. She mainly works the dry sand. All of my finds were from the wetsand, it'll be a couple days before the seas are calm enough to hunt the water.

The dreaded bobby pins... Please don't post them again... they give me nightmares or used to lol...

Tim, Do you have troughs you can detect out past the big waves? I notice Virginia beaches are pretty flat looking does the sand slope gradually out or is there a steep drop off? I ask because up here once you get past the breaking waves you get sandbars or mounds that we hunt behind 200-300 yards off shore and we get little trash out there...

Craig,

There are some spots right in the shorebreak that hold all the shells that I've detected only a couple of times due to the seas we've had lately. So far no rusty objects have come from them, just pulltabs, so I'm thinking there could be jewelry there. At 75-100 yards off of our beach your in the main break. So I would assume as I'm new to the water part of this, there would be some good finds to be had in between the shorebreak and mainbreak. I will be testing this as soon as the seas calm down.

Hopefully the wind and waves will settle down for you soon.
