I learn something today! When it's flat look for the black sand spots up high and work them really good!
Today started off horrible! First thing this morning I went to the same spot as yesterday hoping to find another ring. The beach wasn't producing anywhere high or low so I left.
I went to another spot and it was even worse. So I took a trip to the other end of the island and it didn't look much better. Spot 3 left me with a few pieces of clad and sandy feet.
I then tried spot #4 and it seemed a lot more flat then everywhere else I went. I was starting to loose hope.
I wasn't finding any erosion or even any big shells. After about 45 minutes of digging nothing I took a short break up high on the beach. From there I noticed one area up high that looked slightly different from everywhere else. There was a slight I mean slight slope and a lot of black sand. I didn't see it from below the beach. So I decided to give it a go one last time. It was then I started finding greenies again. Then I hit the butterfly necklace. I was surprised! I started finding more greenies and then popped out a silver ring! All the targets were up high above mid tide to high tide line kind of everywhere. After working that area I then headed back below mid tide line and I hit the gold ring! I spent another 45 minutes in the area until targets slowly disappeared.
So lesson for today is always check the beach even if it's flat especially in a very populated summertime area! Check the black sand up high!! You never know what could be there!
Good luck everyone!
