| Fishing On A Hazy Treasure Coast Morning. |
I went out to see what was going on. There were a lot of guys fishing at the beach. I should've checked the river this morning.
The first thing I dug was this lengthy piece of copper shown with a bottle for comparison.

I eventually got something old - some fossils, including a snake vertebra fossil (below) if I'm correct, and I think I am after checking some books.

I several fossils, some were just pieces. The snake vert, a fish vert and a turtle scute were in pretty good condition.
The snake vert was the most interesting of the three to me. The fish vert was not nearly as complex or complete and turtle scutes are very common.

Here are some other views of the same snake vert.

It is intricate and still in pretty good shape.

I received this email from Norbert.
Just as a "for what it's worth" I found a heavy men's bracelet on a golf course where worked. I used to run my detector when I monitored the sprinklers at night for watering the greens. I had my hopes up that it would be a good. The clasp had apparently broken when the guy hit his shot and couldn't find it in the tall rough. Back in the golf shop under the light, it was clearly marked "Italy 14K", but was without question some kind of heavy pot metal with most of the gold flaked off.

There is one system in the Atlantic with a small chance of developing in the next couple of days.

Otherwise nothing much new.
