My fellow beach and water hunters, I need your help. I am conducting an experiment in south Florida, on the movement of targets in the water and wet sand. The targets will be from Lake Worth to Fort Lauderdale Beach. Starting north and I will work my way south. I do not know what to call this experiment so anyone that is good at naming stuff like this let me know.
Here is the experiment. I am putting targets of various size, shape, and weight along the beaches in the water and wet sand. The targets will be placed from the high tide line out to roughly chest deep at low tide. I will document the date and placement to each target. Each target will have engraved on it a unique number and instructions.
Here is an example “Txt 5615732462 with location, date, #24. The more specific the Information the better (like: chest deep directly in front of lifeguard tower #2 Boca Raton. 1-2 foot waves, strong easterly breeze, low tide).
Also I ask please put the target back where it was found so the study can continue. I plan on keeping a log for each site to include daily surf reports from Surfline.com so I will know when there was bigger surf ect.
So far I have engraved two rings (junk rings, don’t get too excited) some coin sized tokens, some odd shape costume jewelry also a bunch of brass one inch round tags. Now I know that they are not the exact weight and size of a quarter but it will give a general idea of what is going on.
Once I start collecting data I plan on starting a private Facebook group and will publish the findings. So if you are interested. Message me. Also please let your detecting club and buddies know the more information the better. If you are not into this experiment and you find a test target please just put it back. Thanks in advance for your help and Happy Hunting!
