Any advice on hunting a surf spot please

[Water wizard]

Does anybody find much decent stuff on beaches with a big tidal range that are used by surfers? I am thinking of going to hunt the beach I surf at and I'm wondering if all the losses will be at low tide, even though the best time to surf is mid to high tide on the push. I know exactly here the line up is, I've surfed it for 20+ years, but where will all the goodies be? With the sand super low right now I'm thinking of a 2am low tide hunt tonight, I hope the sand is low on that beach, it's a bit of a mission.....warm bed or wet windy beach with possibly some low sand and some bling, tough choice....

Most of the high value items that I have found on Surf beaches (deep water and sloping beaches with undertow) have been at or near the King tide low water mark although these beaches tend to be low producers with swimming beaches being the best good target spots.
Other than that, Targets are spread wide from the dry sand all the way into the water on most beaches.

Where is it that you surf WW...........if it's a beach I detect I may be able to point you in the right direction.I'm no expert or anything but I have found certain areas that produce more than others.

Cheers guys, I surf at sunton sands, I found loads of light aluminium and a 10.7g silver ring there last night...you detected there Nauti?

I've detected there once up on the dry sand although I was thinking about giving it a go the other day.There's got to be a lot of jewelry there as I don't think that many detect it do they?I see you had a nice silver ring from there......where there's one there are more.Must be worth a good go......it would take a few trips to determine where the good areas are but it might be worthwhile.
All the best,neil.

Found one of my best finds at a surf beach....gold coin ring, winter 2008 I think it was. And there were surfers out, lowtide as far as I can remember. And just about were all the action was, being the beach was maybe a 200 yards, Found in the middle, and wetsand.

I found a 1942 half dollar above the high surf line. Must have been high surf and high waves that got it there. Highest concentration of finds
was where the waves make if furthest up the beach. New pennies don't quite make it up that far. This was with my Infinium.
Good luck
