Are you guys finding it lucrative to stay in the wet sand this winter? I unfortunately haven't. All my nice jewelry finds are located in the dry since winter has begun. I still try to wet but after 30mins to an hour of really absolutely nothing I resort to dry for 2-3 hours.
I do have a question which may be my problem with the wet. What I do is locate a pier to a beach, which I figure will have the most traffic, and I grid back and forth from the waves to where the dry sand stars. I do this for about 100-200ft from each side of the pier. This takes a very long time.
I figured this was the best way to wet sand hunt, but it has actually not brought me anything here in southern CA, at all this winter. My question to you guys is... how do you walk the wet sand... do you zig zag, straight line and cover great distances, or do you just spend all your time in one location like me and grid out the area not missing anything in that specific area.
I want to try something new, because my grid technique isn't working for me.
Please let me know how you search the wet and if it has been worth it this winter! Personally I have resorted to the dry sand and volleyball courts and I found a nice 14k white gold 5 diamond ring in the dry, nothing from the courts yet. That is all for this winter, kind of sad. I see people posting 2-3 gold pieces every other day and from this month! Granted they are not from Southern CA, but still I have no idea how they are doing this!
