1/27/18 Report - What the Beaches and Detectorists Are Doing Along the Treasure Coast. Surf Just a Touch Higher.


Written by the TreasureGuide for the exclusive use of treasurebeachesreport.blogspot.com.



I took a look at a good number of treasure beaches yesterday morning to see what was going on along the Treasure Coast. I saw several guys detecting this morning.  I'm going to start from the north and go south this time.

Above is the beach north of McLarty looking south towards the area in front of the museum.  There were a couple of the detectorists (See below) as far out as they could get, considering the rough surf.

The next stop down was Ambersands.  As you can see there was a good bit of seaweed in the wet sand area there.  A couple guys were in the parking lot but no one was detecting there.

Ambersands Beach This Morning.
At least two guys were working near the water line at Wabasso.  The fellow below was up by the seawall heading north.

Detectorists Heading Towards Disney Resort This Morning. 

In the above photo you can see how they sloped the dunes recently.

The fellow in the picture above just dug a target and stuck it in his pocket and filled the hole.  You can see what the beach looks like so I won't comment any more on that.


Looking South From Near the Turtle Trail Beach Access.

I didn't see anyone detecting at Turtle Trail but there could have been someone farther down around the bend.  One of the all-time top Treasure Coast treasure salvage guys stopped and took a look and quickly left.

John Brooks Beach This Morning.
John Brooks smoothed out since yesterday.  Yesterday there were scallops and some cuts forming up by the bend.  Today that was gone.

I didn't see anyone detecting there, but I got a report from Steve P. that did detect there this morning.  Here is what he said.

I went out this morning at just about low tide for about 3 hours, worked close to the water from Brooks south to the yellow house, back north along the first cut to Brooks, back south along the shell line, then back north to Brooks about mid beach. Had the same luck as Galen, a few aluminum can shards but nothing else.   Steve P.

Thanks for the report Steve.

My photos of Ambersands and John Brooks were not very good.  That is why they are smaller.  They looked very bad when in a larger size.

The wind is still blowing on the Treasure Coast.  The surf will be a little higher on Saturday - something like 5 - 8 feet is expected.

The wind is mostly out of the east.  The tides are not very big. 

I do expect to see seem some find come in.

Happy hunting,
