When hunting the beach,where do you find your most .On the shore line,or closer to inland.
Also would the tide make a difference in your hunt?

I usually find more in the wet sand. There are usually "pockets" of items
that gather together due to a low spot and the surf usually pushes a group
of items into it. I like low tide since it allows you to explore more wet sand
(and are more likely to find those pockets).
I'm no pro, but I bet the expert beach hunters here will have a lot more to
say...

In the wet sand there is much less trash so many targets are coins (or better)... and I've noticed those pockets as well - not that I've found any spectacular pockets myself... yet!
The finds also tend to be a bit older on average than higher inland I think.
But in some cases it seems the wet sand has been picked quite clean and I find more some stuff in dry sand 5-10 meters inland. There's gonna be a lot of trash there, but always coins as well.
If "finding most" is defined as "face value of coins per hour detected" the dry sand has delivered better results for me (mainly as it takes a couple of seconds less to dig the average target)
(Your digging arm can get a bit tired in wet sand after a couple hundred targets
I don't have a DFX so not sure about its settings, but make sure you're finding pulltabs.. they could be gold rings

The DFX has a Jewelry/Beach setting preprogrammed. Just scroll down your menu
is less junk,but better coin/hits at low tide.

It would have helped if I went thru them all
