Digging bottle caps and pulltabs is part of the experience as you will learn to identify them with accuracy overtime if you dig them consistently. Always remember that the pulltab tone you walk away from could just as easily be a gold ring that others have walked away from as well, make sure that you're the one who digs it. No discrimination, sensitivity as high as it will go without falsing and stick to the dry sand until you have it mastered before moving into the wet sand and beyond. Hunt the areas where you think people would spend time, prime sunning areas, towel line, concessions, lifeguard towers, benches and beach volleyball courts, etc. You are hunting peoples habits as much as you are hunting the loot they leave behind.

Good Hunting to You,
