I think that what you are looking for when you say "the coin line" is that place where the actions of the tides cause all of the coins to be moved too.
The way to see if your beach has a coin line is to zig zag, (VVVVVV), up and down the beach from the high water line down to the sea, after you have done the bit of beach that interests you, look back to see if you have a line of "filled in" holes, -- if you have, and they are near enough in a straight line, then that's your coin line and you can go back along it to collect the rest of the goodies.
Fine in theory, but I'm not really sure it'll actually work

What bulldog said is about right but a good starting place is about 10yards below high tide and zig zag back and forward there and one coin does generally lead to more.

Hi bulldog tried your coin-line theory and it works a treat. Found ?9.53 in spendable coins and one 9ct gold ring also one 9ct gold cross from knecklace alas did'nt find the knecklace that it came from but hey you cant have it all.Some of the coins were just lying on the surface.

With the tide at full low, walk down from the high tide line until you can turn around and guess that the high tide line would be at mid-chest. From this level now judge where you think the highest traffic was located on the beach above the high tide line. Now work you way up and down the beach parallel to the water edge and progress upward as the tide forces you in. The closer you are to the actual tidal line the better your detector will punch thru the wet sands. But you also have to dig fast sometimes to get to your target before the sands over whelm you.

Nice finds, Malc! Well done! Clapp

Markg - I've always thought of the "coin line" as being where the beach chairs and blankets go, which for my area is from the high water line, extending about 10 yards up toward the dry dunes. There are often secondary pockets of coins laying in little furrows in the water (the "gulleys" findsoldstuff mentioned) and extending out into neck-deep water. I like to look for areas where pebbles collect in or near the water. Idea

Well what i do is when i go to the beach at low tide is i run an imaginary line down the the middle of the high tide mark and the low tide mark, and i zig zag that line and most of the time you can find the coin line, and once you find some coins what i do is run a circle about five circles out, sometimes you run into rings or some other jewelry or some more coins, maybe that will help ya.
