The best weekend metal detecting plan

I have received a few emails recently, asking my advice on the best times to go metal detecting on tourist beaches over the weekend. 
It is Friday morning, I guess now is a good time to post this blog about the subject of weekend beach and shallow water metal detecting. 
With the increased competition for metal detecting finds on most busy beaches, you cannot beat everyone to the gold. 
If you are a weekend warrior, the timing of your weekend treasure hunting is very important.
In my opinion, the best times to go metal detecting over the weekend are the following;

Friday PM    
To get the midweek fresh drops.
Saturday PM  
After a full day of weekend activity on the beach and in the water.
Sunday AM 
After a full day and nighttime activity on the beach and in the water.
Sunday PM
After 2 full days of activity on the beach and in the water.
Monday AM 
After a full weekend of activity on the beach and in the water.

Probably the worst time to go metal detecting is early tomorrow morning (Saturday AM) 
Most weekend warriors have the same idea and you are searching before the busy weekend has even started. 
The longer you can be patient and wait to go metal detecting on the weekend, the better your chances of finding gold jewelry will be. 
Here is over $7000.00 worth of gold and diamonds from the last time I planned my weekend water hunt perfectly.
