Thought I would dig this illustration out of the new book and post it for those who want to sharpen their shoreline observational skills.\u00a0 \u00a0These are the ways that a sidewall can change and when you know to watch for\u00a0 them it’s possible to predict strip-outs–when new targets are being exposed.\u00a0 One thing that’s missing here is the “king tide” pattern where you have a long sweeping waves which act to flatten out the edge altogether.\u00a0 This is usually not a very productive edge.\u00a0 It also helps to have some kind of “benchmark”–a structure on shore against which to gauge changes although with practice just the shoreline contour will be enough to alert you that areas are lowering.\u00a0 \u00a0Another thing to watch for is scalloping or where you have long lead water inflow–indicating an area where there is stronger current.\u00a0 \u00a0Then combine this visual information with what your detector tells you–the presence of newly exposed or corroded targets.<\/p>\n
