I took a look at John Brooks and Frederick Douglass beaches late this morning. Here is John Brooks.
For some reason the gates were still closed at 11 AM at John Brooks. Frederick Douglass park was open though.
The beach at John Brooks looked very much like the beach at Frederick Douglass.
Neither beach had significant cuts. There were a good number of shells up around the high tide line at both beaches.
There were still a good number of coins and other cheap jewelry on the Fort Pierce beaches. I found the above Red Cross Blood Donor Pin at Fort Pierce. It is only one half inch across. At first I thought it must be a very small coins such as an Ore or Kopec.
I remember another type of Red Cross pin from when I was young. It was more of a thin tin and had a tab that bent over to attach to your collar or lapel.
This one evidently had a straight pin at one time.
I have no idea what the "A" means or the age of the pin.
Coins and a few bits of cheap jewelry were found this morning.

A day or two ago I showed a College Inn bottle found by Joe D. and discussed some possibilities.
Jorge Y. sent this photo of a College Inn bottle he found online.
This bottle has the same kind of "College Inn" embossing as the bottle submitted by Joe D., so I'm assuming that it comes from the same company, but I think they probably held different things.
Thanks Jorge.

Yesterday I was talking about how different beaches give up different kinds of finds. Besides the different kinds of finds you can also get some clues about where certain items came from by the type of encrustation or corrosion.
I always like the gun metal blue patina on old silver coins from the cold fresh water lake of Minneapolis, for example.

Here is another item I found today. Looks like it would be from Marie Antoinette's treasure. Just joking.

The surf is going to increase a little through the week but not much.
Happy hunting,
