10/2/18 Report - Rough Surf Continues But Bigger Surf Expected Soon for Treasure Coast. Artifacts Found on HMS Erebus.

John Brooks Beach Tuesday Morning.

The Treasure Coast beaches haven't changed much in the last couple of days, but they are slightly more deeply scalloped.  I've found a few cobs on scalloped beaches that did not look much different than these, so it is possible.  Those were found between peaks, but not always in the deepest part of the dips.  There was not so much seaweed then though.

I didn't have the time to detect these beaches today.

Rough Surf This Morning.

The surf was rough this morning, but not as rough as is expect the next couple of days.  Leslie continues to send swells our way.  Too bad she isn't closer so we'd get some north swells.

Frederick Douglass Beach Tuesday Morning.

Frederick Douglas beach looked very much like John Brooks.

Sand Piled In Front of Seaweed Line.

As you can see, there was about a foot of new sand piled right in front of the seaweed line at Frederick Douglass Beach.

Blind Creek Beach.

Blind Creek Beach is getting more narrow.  There is a flat bottom near the water line and then a dip in the water.

The water did not get as high last night, but a bigger surf is coming.

It would be nice if the high surf would come along during a good high tide and we'd get some north swells.

Anyhow, this is interesting enough to watch.  Might be a good idea to check some good spots.  I'm sure there are some places out there around rocks or whatever that will cut.

Underwater archaeologists have finished their latest research trip to the wreck of the HMS Erebus, a ship abandoned in the Canadian Arctic 170 years ago during the ill-fated Franklin expedition.

Harsh weather conditions hampered this month's mission. Divers could not enter Sir John Franklin's cabin, where they had hoped to find documents or the ship's logs preserved in icy water that might explain the tragic fate of the ship.

The archaeologists did, however, bring nine more artifacts to the surface for conservation, including a ceramic pitcher and an artificial horizon used for navigation from an officer's cabin on the lower deck...

I was surprised to see that the post about fossil shells with calcite crystals has nearly 2000 views now.  I didn't realize it did so well.

Happy hunting,
