5/23/18 Report - Some Cuts On Treasure Coast Beaches This Morning. San Jose Wreck Possibly Worth Up To $17 Billion.

John Brooks Beach This Wednesday Morning Just Before Low Tide.

I went out to check the beaches this morning.  It got hot.  Would have preferred some clouds or rain.

The first stop was John Brooks (above) where this fellow was detecting in front of the cut.  The cut ran down to and beyond Frederick Douglass Beach.  It was a foot high and little higher in some places.  The sand up next to the cut was mushy.  You can see the seaweed.

Next stop was Blind Creek.

Blind Creek Beach This Morning Before Low Tide.

There were some smallish one-foot cuts in areas that were cut better back a few weeks ago.  Those previous productive cuts had filled in some and moved a little.

I found a fellow detecting there too - totally nude.  I think that is the first totally nude detectorists I ever saw and I tried not to see it.  I think he was out to prove that the human body is not always a beautiful thing.

Blind Creek Beach This Morning.

This view is looking north towards where there was a very nice cut (back to the dunes) a few weeks ago.  Now it is just a dip.

I did a quick check and found modern coins washing up in the wet sand at the edge of the drop-off.  I suspect there were more down in the dip.

Walton Rocks This Morning.

Walton Rocks didn't look real promising.  Around the bend to the north, the slope was steep.  It looked better than this stretch.

Frederick Douglas Beach This Morning.

The cut looks bigger than it is in this photo.  The cut was the biggest that I saw this morning.  It was one to two feet.

The sand at the top of the slope in front of the cut was mushy and firmer down near the water.

Here is one from LiveScience.  The title of this one is Archaeologists Find Holy Grail of Shipwrecks Carrying Stach Worth Up To $17 Billion.

A tropical or sub-tropical depression could form this weekend.  The surf is expected to be up a bit this weekend.

Happy hunting,
