| Typical Treasure Coast Beach Yesterday |
After I had been to the beach yesterday, I came home and the wind really picked up and came in from the Northeast. That was a dirty trick. I was there too early. I doubt that it was enough to move all of that built up sand anyhow, but I would have liked to have been there after the wind instead of before.
Here is what one beach looked like yesterday before the wind picked up. There is a lot of sand on the front beach and I suspect that it would take more than what happened yesterday to move it significantly. Nonetheless, there may be some new spots worth detecting today. I've been showing that finds of various kinds have been coming from the Treasure Coast beaches even if there haven't been any treasure coins recently that I know about.

Archaeologists are attempting to map the wreck site before the wreck disappears again.
Here is the link for more on that story.
He used white powder to better show the details for the photo. I think you can see the eagle.
The other day I dug what looked like part of the metal part of a shotgun shell. Embossed on it was Orton Red Meteor. A little research quickly revealed that it was from a flare, not a shotgun shell.
