Small Piece of Gold Found on Florida Beach With Metal Detector.
I know. I should have included an object for comparison.
This piece only weighs .015 oz. or .3 dwt. and is about 1/8 inch across and pretty much flat.

Neat story and very historic piece of gold.

And from the Mel Fisher organization, the salvage vessel Dare has been significantly upgraded and is back in the hunt.
We've had a couple days of thunder storms. The rain was needed. I like the rain and wind but can really do without the lightening. You can often hear the static from it in your ear phones while it is still far away.
Don't take any chances. Its not worth it.
Thunder storms can create some good local waves, but another good thing about a hard rain is that it will cause some erosion on the back dunes when the conditions are right. Inland too. Check out any gulleys for exposed items.
Happy hunting,
