You also can't beat the look of diamonds reflecting in the sunlight or a gold chain draped over the edge of your scoop basket.
If you haven't experienced the thrill of holding a nice piece of recovered jewelry in your hand or you have and you want more, there are two things you need to work on to be a good jewelry hunter at the beach.
Site selection and small gold hunting skills help you become a proficient jewelry hunter.
Being able to read the beach and the conditions present allows you to make the very most of your metal detecting time at the beach.
If you believe you have to be the first person at the beach or the conditions have to be just right to find something, you are following the wrong blogger or metal detecting forum.
If you believe you need the latest and greatest metal detector or biggest and baddest search coil in order to find Bobby Dazzlers at the beach you are also going to be disappointed.
You need a decent metal detector that can detect a wide variety of small sized targets at the beach.
I go out of my way to make sure I can detect small pieces of micro jewelry, for example ear ring studs, tiny pendants, beads, very thin chains or belly button jewelry.
When you use a metal detector capable of detecting small gold the big Bobby Dazzlers are a piece of cake to find.
The next time you see a nice solitaire diamond engagement ring, check out how little platinum or gold is actually in the band attached too the prongs holding the big diamond.
Imagine that diamond ring lost at the beach and that is the circle of precious metal you are hoping to detect, do you think you are going to detect it?
Gold chains are another example of hard targets to detect at the beach no matter what type metal detector or search coil you use, it takes skill to consistently detect gold chains.
A metal detector often only sees the individual gold link or gold clasp on the gold chain, just like the diamond ring example if you can detect small targets you stand a chance of finding them.
Work on reading the beach and finding small gold, instead of waiting around for better beach conditions or walking miles on the beach hoping you stumble across a big ring or chain.
Being able to read a beach isn't about waiting for high surf to cut and erode beaches, its about being able to know where you are more likely to find jewelry, coins or artifacts on the day you decide to go beach hunting.
The potentially best areas within the site are easy to spot if you know what to look for, if you don't I have a beach reading book on my website that will help you get way ahead of the learning curve.
From experience I can tell you that turning your metal detector into a money maker means never having to worry about getting metal detecting permission from the significant other!
