Ken says there were lots of shells but not much else.
I do like the look of those dips.

Ornate Silver Bead Found.This is the second one like this that I found this week - just days apart. I thought it was kind of unusual to find two alike, especially being so small. Looks like maybe a bracelet came apart.
I need to pick up where I left off yesterday, but it is Christmas Eve, and I'm going to keep it short today. I pick up again where I left off after Christmas.
Forecast and Conditions.
After a peak of about 5.5 feet Friday morning, the seas will back off for the rest of the week.
The wind is still out of the north and there are still a few remaining cuts and heavily hit eroded places to hunt - mostly for modern objects. A few old objects are surfacing in some of those areas.
I'm actually going to upgrade conditions to a 2 rating on my five point beach conditions scale. The upgrade is based upon two things: the continuing north winds and movement of sand, and the continuing erosion of a few spots (those with obstructions to the natural flow of sand.)
I've been primarily picking up modern coins, but there are a lot of them at some spots, and there are a few older things occasionally mixed in.
Merry Christmas,
