| South of Ambersands Beach Access Friday Morning. |
There were four or five people detecting at Ambersand this morning. There were some cuts. The biggest ones were to the south (shown above).

The stepped cut was near the crossover.
Yesterday I showed photos of Turtle Trail, Seagrape Trail and John Brooks beaches. I issued a 2 rating (transitional rating) on my beach conditions rating scale and mentioned that I didn't know what would happen with the next tidal cycle.
JD sent me a photo that evening.

It looks like Turtle Trail conditions started to decrease later in the day.

Several detectorists showed up at Turtle Trail early this morning and found conditions not nearly as good as it was yesterday morning.

So it looks like Turtle Trail opened up for a brief period but by Friday evening was already deteriorating.

In addition to a bunch of lead, yesterday Captain Jonah dug the nice little piece shown below. Looks to me like it might be a piece of jewelry.

I was talking to one of the fellows about the small pieces I've been picking up with the Equinox. Here is an example of one I dug yesterday. I'd call it a square nail, but it is too small to be a nail. It wasn't easy to see in the sand.

Very colorful.
I have some other examples of small finds that I've picked up recently, which I hope to get photographed soon.
I've seen pieces very similar to Jonah's on 18th Century jewelry and might have one or two examples somewhere.
Looks like we'll have four and five foot surf for a while, but no more north winds until Monday.
I was out this morning when the Atlas rocket went up but missed it somehow. Was supposed to be a good show.
Happy hunting.
