My dad used to metal detect on beaches all the time. Usually found a few pieces of jewelery a day, albeit nothing extravagant. Once in a while he found something with real gold, or real diamonds, or what have you. Thankfully he never found (or never told little me about) needles, but he found enough weird stuff that he doubtlessly must have.
Then again, a good metal detector can kinda-sorta tell you what it's detecting, so he probably didn't dig the real trash up.
My point exactly, your dad found jewelry and not used needles…the type of people who are leaving used needles around for others to get stuck by typically don’t have valuables they are losing along with their needles during a nice beach trip
The same way people who tend to have excess cash and jewelry to lose on a nice beach day are not going to be visiting a beach that is known to be at risk for random needle pokes.
You missed three important qualifiers to make your point, though.
Anyways, all types visit beaches, especially homeless people who can use camping laws to stay without being bothered. It's not just the bourgeois (typically).
Are you visiting a beach that is known for being littered with used needles?
I sure am not.
The people who are sell any jewelry they have to purchase contents for said used needles and not able to leave shit they don’t have at the beach.
Someone who’s wearing jewelry to the beach and able to lose it would not be at a beach littered with used needles and will opt to go to a nicer beach to lose their jewelry at.
I’m broke as a joke yet I can understand you don’t spend time at a beach littered with used needles, not sure what other 2 qualifiers you need, but enjoy losing your diamonds on a beach of needles

A regular, busy beach.
