| Detectorist at Frederick Douglass Monday. |
The front came through and some beaches got cut by the north winds. Then the wind shifted more to the east, and by Monday it was a little southerly. By Monday there was filling on some beaches. There was even sea weed on some beaches. That is usually not a good sign.

| Another View of Frederick Douglass Beach Monday. |
There were detectorists out Monday. I saw them working at both John Brooks and Frederick Douglass beaches.

| John Brooks Near Low Tide on Monday. |
You can tell from the footprints that the sand was soft.

| John Brooks Near Low Tide Monday. |
You can see the piles of seaweed in the John Brooks photo.
DJ visited some the Indian River County beaches.
DJ sent the above photo showing the older layer of sand showing at the base of the dunes.
A lot of detectorists showed up a Turtle Trail today just before low tide Monday.
Good steep slope on the dune face, however notice the soft sand and deep footprints.
Notice the tell-tale sea-oats plugs on the renourishment sand. Thank government for spending money on those. Most of them have washed away.
From what I've seen and heard so far, there were more and better finds Saturday than either Sunday or Monday. Beach conditions were starting to deteriorate Sunday and continued deteriorating Monday.
I did see and hear of some nice finds Sunday - both gold and silver. I haven't received any photos from readers yet but hope to. It appears there weren't nearly as many good recent finds as were made in February though. The recent finds were mostly on the smaller side, ie. half reales and a piece of a corroded small ring that looked to be shipwreck.
I'm trying to get a few things cleaned and hope to get them photographed before long, but I have a lot of other things to do.

TM was digging a target at the base of a dune near Seagrape and out came what appears to be blue and white glass. He was wondering what you thought it might be.
Let me know what you think.

The surf is predicted to continue decreasing for a few days. Expect more beach building with the continuing ESE winds.
Happy hunting,

Sitting here watching Drain the Oceans Sunken Treasure 2018 ch 197 Dish .They found a mother load of Spanish silver and mixed in were coins that predate the mint date by 150 years .They were being smuggled for trading in East Asia by the East India Tea Company.
