For beach hunters there is only one thing on their minds. That is increasing the gold finds. There is so many things that ruin a good beach. Either the wind is out of the wrong direction or too strong or too weak. Either the tides are wrong or just about anything can reduce your gold finds. The following procedures will increase your gold finds.

The main thing is when you are working wet sand and especially on low tides there is miles of wide wet sand exposed but only for an hour or two at best. My beach may get right only for 30 minutes at a time and there is just too much beach to work in that amount of time. Then you may have to wait a month for another chance at the gold.

What we have to do to increase our gold finds when the beach is in shape is to do two things. You need a fast response machine that will allow you to walk pretty fast and cover more wet sand. You should use a 8 inch coil so you can walk more and faster and still not tire.

This brings me to tell you the secret that adds the most extra gold rings. I have a CZ20 and one day I had the good hunting beach only for about 30 minutes and wanted to cover more area. Area is the thing! I tried something new. I took my hand off the handhold and moved it back as far as I could get it. That meant I had to hold it by the rod at the cuff which extended my sweep from 8 foot to 11 foot 6 inches.

I began more and more to use this method and it began to pay off bigtime! Here is a picture of two gold rings that I got using this method that I would have missed by sweeping in the old method. It takes some strength to hold the rod out this far and the coil just an inch off the sand. I can hold it for about an hour and then I have to trade off a while but this amount of time is very important. These two rings shown below were found out on the tip of the swing where I would have missed them before. This method improves my overall number of gold rings. Try it the next time you are at the beach. It will work for you too.
