Probability of finding during the beach search

Admittedly, this is almost a funny topic. The topic is certainly exotic and unique. Nevertheless, our observations on water and beach searches could be quite informative and perhaps even useful for some people.

Anyone who searches in the water, on the shore or on the beach will certainly ask themselves at some point "Where can I find the most and where is my probability of making great finds the highest? ". Well, that's exactly what we always ask ourselves when we search the beach ...

We have simply christened the still shallow area on the shore or beach the "crown cap zone" (you can throw a crown cap into the water just this far from the shore! ). This zone is usually not very popular with explorers, as this is where most of the garbage is to be found. It's logical that you have to dig up more garbage in the crown cap zone and of course make fewer good finds in relation to this.

Over the years, we have noticed that there is about 1 great find for every 10 items of garbage (bottle caps, aluminum foil, etc.) dug up in the crown cap zone. Nevertheless - the one great find usually has it all, because experience has shown that most rings are found in the crown cap zone! Why most rings are found in the crown cap zone is actually quite logical: when the bathers go into the water, they usually cool themselves down with a little water and wet themselves a little - and it is precisely at this moment that the rings fall off their fingers, as the fingers shrink slightly in diameter due to the usually cold water. Looking back, we found most of the silver and gold rings in the crown cap area. So it's worth the effort and collecting garbage (and possibly broken glass) is a good way to findKarma anyway. Fortuna usually rewards explorers who behave fairly and correctly on the beach.

In the swimmers' zone, the ratio of good finds to garbage is much better, as there is naturally less garbage in this zone. In this zone, at most a child will drop some aluminum foil from a rubber dinghy into the water. In our experience, you are more likely to find something in the swimmer's zone and it is mainly coins and jewelry (necklaces, earrings, etc.) that are found. The ratio in the float zone is around 5 to 1.
