I recently have been hunting several different beaches and have noticed that the popularity of a beach is definitely not; in and of itself, a guarantee of success.
In the SECOND image, is a more local beach with few tourists and a long expansive beach with a relatively long sloped tidal surge. There, i find a TON of stuff. But it is definitely a low-key place.
The FIRST image is a super high-traffic beach with thousands of visitors a day. Bit it has a relatively high encompassing tidal surge that takes up a large portion of the beach between high and low tides. On this beach i usually strike out or find very little.
Now, it doesn PROVE anything, but my correlations lead me to believe that altough pedestrian traffic is necessary for finds, its possible that tourists tend to leave more objects in their room than locals (who wear items and bring coins as a matter of habit) AND that the tide taking over much of the beach is detrimental to finds.
The tracks you see are not the only ones ive done in these spots. Each pin indicates a find of some value (coin or otherwise) and each different colored line shows a walking path i took.
When i take these paths i am slow and methodical.
In short: There are far fewer finds per mile on the far more popular beach. In time, i hope to nail down the variables for stat-driven hunts.
If this was helpful or interesting please comment. If not, and im way off base then i wont post my nerd stats in the future
