As you can see, tomorrow and Thursday the surf should be up, and then again, a bit more on Sunday.
Those are the types of thing that is common in November, but I'd prefer to see something more sustained. After a little erosion the wind changes again and the beaches fill before the next opening.
John E. sent me the following report.
On Saturday found a 50 yard-75 yard stretch of beach with 3-4 foot cut. Was down in some nice yellow sand...lots of targets - highlights ... one buffalo nickel ( no date) and couple wheat pennies.... 1940’s (all others clad ) and a lock escutcheon, don’t think it is very old ( 1.5 inches long) went back next day, cut was gone - no targets.... shows how short window of opportunity can be sometimes. Using equinox 800 - still learning!!

It looks like there is a good chance that a window of opportunity might crack open some time in the next few days. If you manage to hit the right place at the right time, you might get access to some older things. It won't come to you.
Open Sesame.
Happy hunting,
