9/29/13 Report - $2.5 Million Gold Coin, Tropical Depession 11, Fossil Find, and Beach Conditions


Written by the TreasureGuide for the exclusive use of treasurebeachesreport.blogspot.com.

We now have Tropical Depression Eleven.  It doesn't seem to be much of a threat to Florida right now.  It is out in the Atlantic and pretty far north.

The low pressure area down below Cuba has a 20% chance of developing.

The rare gold coin shown below recently sold at auction for $2.5 million.  Only eleven are known to exist.


That is one beauty.

Mitch P. recently picked up the following horse tooth fossil on a beach near Sebastian.

Fossil Tooth Found on Treasure Coast Beach
Picture and find by Mitch P.
Mitch describes himself as an occasional THer and frequent beach comber,

I think the first fossil I saw on a Treasure Caost beach was a horse tooth too.  I didn't know what it was at the time.

My very first fossil find, though, came up in a scoop of sand when digging a target in the water down south.  I didn't know what it was at the time either.   Now I could identify either of those at first glance - at least generally.  But not specifically like some people.   Some people can tell the age period sub-species or whatever and everthing.   I'm not a fossil expert at all but usually know a fossil when I see one.

The tides have been fairly flat lately.   Not a lot of variation from high to low tide.

Here is a quick video clip of what it looked like out there yesterday.




Low tide (what there is of it) Sunday will be around 10:30 AM.   The surf will remain about two to four feet for a few days.

Happy hunting,
