I received these photos from JamminJack a week or two ago. I had a lot of news to cover, so held these for a while. Below is a closer look at some of the display items.

Not long ago I showed you some small melted bits of silver found on the beach. They looked a lot like some pieces found at the Winter Beach camp.

It would be a good education for any detectorist to visit the museum to study the items on display.
Thanks for the photos Jack.

There are a lot of opinions on the glass-looking mystery items that I posted not too long ago.
Here are the ideas that I've received.
Decorative glass for flower vases and beach weddings.
Shattered safety glass.
Fluorite crystals.
Meth crystals. TM says it is definitely not that.
Now here is what Bill G. said.

I helped start a fire table company (Firetainment) and those pieces of glass look exactly like what we put in our burner pans. Here is a link to some on Amazon.

Thanks Bill. Looks like we're not going to settle this one, but maybe the reader ideas gave the finder enough to narrow it down.

Here’s a strange looking find… I found this a week ago on the beach near Vero

To me it looks like Santaria Yamana items, which I used to find a lot in South Florida.
Here is a link to an old post I did on that.

I thought you and your PB County readers would like to know about Mid-Town Beach’s status. I decided to go there for some wet-sand and surf detecting this morning since I had limited time and it’s close for me. I was quite surprised when I got there. There is a Major Renourishing project going on using pumped in sand from offshore. I had not heard a word about it happening. Looks to me like they are close to completing the work and still have lifeguards in the stands as well as the beach open to the public. Even though there is heavy equipment, dredge pipes etc. still being moved about on the beach, there was a good number of folks enjoying the Sun and water. Needless to say, detecting where I like to search was very lean. I also learned when I got home, that starting tomorrow (3/17) all Palm Beach Island beaches will be closed due to restrictions from the Covid-19 virus. Although they are saying that the PB County beaches will remain open to the public for now.
Thanks Jerry.
If you are worrying that Coronavirus in the U. S. will spread like it did in Italy, you might be interested to know that northern Italy has a lot of sweat shops in which a very large Chinese population works, many of which come from an area not too far from Wuhan.
It might also help to put things in perspective if you consider that the N1H1 virus killed around 12,000 people in the U. S. in one year, 2009 - 2010. So the Coronavirus has a long way to go to reach those numbers.
