As for beach hunting, most places I go have been hunted to death, and get pounded multiple times daily. The only edge is to have a machine that gets the stuff nobody else can detect, hence the PI idea. There really is little trash in the most used areas of the beach as it gets cleaned out daily. The only other way is to get lucky maybe by going at the right time and getting to a cut first and hopefully have something there. That's how I got my one and only.
As for iron I saw how the machines can actually discriminate some or all of the iron out just at the expense of some depth.
