Had a go at all accessible beaches from Lakes Entrance to Phillip Island in the 1980s. It was a contest between the wife and I to see who was the first to hit the $100 for the day. The only beach that I know of now that is off limits is Inverloch as it is a shell fish reserve. Nowadays a lot of small change is not around due the use of Card Transactions.

And phone transactions and smart watch transactions. 😢
 
Any beach where people are likely to go is worthwhile. Pick your times after a bit of rough weather may have eroded sand levels and before they build up again.
Have been to beaches with a back wall where a storm surge has left old pennies just laying on the surface to pick up even before the detector hit them.
Maybe even also its a bit like prospecting and sometimes worth taking a chance and picking an unlikely beach which may have been popular before modern times.
