Ok, so I'm pretty new to beach detecting and felling a bit lost. I have been out three times and a week apart each time. I'm in Spain and have about 20 keeper targets (7 euros), to about 100 trash items. This is over about 10 hours cumulative.
I usually hit the towel line first (most of my finds) then I go to the water at low tide and not getting many signals of any kind at all. Then I hit random areas of interest in between like low areas and cuts.
I have not hit one pice of jewelry of any kind (junk or keeper). Most finds are pull tabs, bottle caps, foil, and euro change with an occasional peseta. The towel line can be trashy but not bad at all. Between waist deep during low tide and the towel line it gets very quiet to the point that I check to make sure it is turned on.
I'm using an AT Pro for everything till I get the new Seahunter coil in the mail. The AT does very well as long as I keep tabs on the ground balance and keep sensitivity in the middle.
I don't believe it is overly hunted. I see 2-3 others out in the morning. They zigzag the towel line at a fast pace and go home.
Ideas?
