| Treasure Coast Beach This Morning Near Low Tide. |
The beaches that I saw this morning were poor. Notice the sea weed in the above picture
Sand was washing up onto the beach too. I put a dime in the wet sand. Every wave that came over it moved it a foot or two towards the dry sand. Good targets were not in the accreting wet sand areas that I checked this morning.
Lately the swimming beaches have been kept pretty clean. You might have a better chance at a few coins by moving away from the main areas where the sun bathers accumulate. That is where most is lost but it is also where most detectorists spend their time.
As I said yesterday, we do have some waves, but the wind direction has not been favorable.

They had no trouble finding spare buttons in the wreckage. You might want to read about that.
On the Treasure Coast the surf is supposed to be around 3 - 5 feet today and will be decreasing a bit over the next few days. Beach detecting conditions are poor.
Happy hunting,
