One Treasure Coast Beach Sunday.I actually visited a number of beaches this weekend and they all looked pretty much like this one. None of them looked any good even though the water had been up pretty high. Mostly a lot of mushy sand and seaweed so far.
Below are a couple more beach photos from this weekend. As you can see they all looked pretty much the same - no good.
Thanks to Bernie C. for these two photos.I saw some other beaches this weekend but won't post any more photos. They all look alike.
I'm surprised that no one seemed to know about the Stuart Bottling Works. At least no one sent in any information. So I'd still be glad to hear from any one that knows anything about it.
Bernie also sent some sad news - Mike Diamond, a member of the Saint Lucie metal detecting club passed away. Our condolences to the family.Ophelia is now up by Newfoundland, and Philippe is headed out into the Atlantic, so we don't have any storms to be concerned about right now.
There are some Treasure Coast shipwreck finds up for auction on eBay now.
Below is a photo of one lot consisting of a cannon ball, musket balls, piece of pewter plate, and part of olive jar bottom.
This lot now has a bid of $200. Many detectorist overlook miscellaneous finds like this, but they can be valuable.
Many detectorists like these types of artifacts as much as they like coins.
There is a copper sheet from the Nieves site also up for auction with a beginning price of just under $40. It is about four by four inches. No bids on that one yet.It seems the surf web sites are pretty much sticking with their predictions. They are now predicting eight foot seas for Fort Pierce by Sunday and 12.5 foot seas for Sebastian by next weekend.
The wind is now from the north and supposed to be from the northeast tomorrow and for the next few days. It looks very promising right now.
There is a lot of sand to be moved, but seas that high can definitely do it if the angles are right. Even if the angles aren't right, the water might be high enough to hit the back dunes enough to wash some things out.
This is the most promising prediction that I've seen for quite a while. Hope for good north/northeast winds.
Happy hunting,
