11/12/17 Report - Rough Surf But Little Erosion. South Hutchinson Island and North. Bottle Finds.


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

Rough Surf This Morning.
The surf along the Treasure Coast was supposed to be something like 5 - 8 feet this morning.  I went out to take a look and saw the above around 7:30 AM.  There was a lot of white water.  It looked like there was a lot of sand extending out maybe 75 yards or so.  The waves were hitting the beach straight on.  There was no erosion yet where I was.  Maybe there will be some erosion somewhere along the Treasure Coast, but I didn't see it this morning.  With all the north wind we had the past couple of days, you would hope for something, but when we had the north wind, we didn't have much surf.

John Brooks Looking South This Morning.
You can usually find something, even when detecting isn't good, but this morning there weren't many shells and I didn't see any fossils, but I did pick up a few bottles quickly yesterday, so that is something I might do when I get the chance.

Newly Found Bottles.
These bottles aren't worth much, but they tell me that there might be some good ones out there if I look a little more.  I would call them markers or signal finds.  While they aren't worth much, they provide some good information.

The one on the left is a CastorOil bottle and the one in the middle is a pharmacy bottle.

Here is what Darrel S. saw a couple days ago more to the north.

We just haven't had very good conditions lately.  Even Irma didn't do a whole lot of us.  There is a lot of sand in the shallow water in front of the treasure beaches of South Hutchinson Island.

Darrel has been hunting a lot recently and has been reporting very few signals.  He is going to try a new coil.  Maybe we'll get a report on that.

Thanks to the veterans on this Veterans Day weekend.

It is still rainy in my part of the world.

Happy hunting,
