Captain Jonah mentioned one of his favorite coins finds being a 1670. Warren D. provided the following additional comments about that one.
Your article about Jonah's favorite coin brought back the memory of the day that coin was brought up.
I witnessed it from the beach on July 29, 2015 and it was the only coin that came up as a single.
It made us all totally hysterical and I remember every word we said that day. Danny brought it to the beach and showed it to us close up.
I went to the press conference and took these pictures. The crack in the coin is part of the story.

Tuesday I walked Riomar and found an old cut (picture attached) but did not detect. I was hoping the higher surf and high tide Wednesday might create new ones. Been trying to learn from your blog.
Wednesday brought the MD and turned it on just past the stairs. The thing went crazy with number jumping all over even holding the coil up in air. I rebooted it, factory reset, nothing worked. I was convinced it was toast. Another detectorist walked by headed to south beach and we talked a bit. When I mentioned the crazy behavior, he said that always happens here in front of the Riomar country club. He said he does not turn his on until far down the beach. Sure enough, farther down everything returned to normal. The other guy was convinced something strange was buried in the sand. I had a different theory, an undersea cable. And of course their is a website for that:

The cuts in the picture I took Tuesday were gone and new 2-3’ cuts (about 50 ft. long) far down the beach on a section that is more NW-SE than north south. And that seems to support your comment on the winds and waves drive cut creation. The primary swell Wednesday was northeast as were the winds for a time.
Fascinating hobby!
Thanks Dale. There are a number of spots like that along the Treasure Coast. There is one south of the Rio Mar access that I've known about at least thirty or forty years.. Another one is south of Turtle Trail. Some are stronger and more persistent than others. I usually associated them with certain buildings and radio transmissions, but you might be right.
There is also a source of interference at Pepper Park. It is not as strong or as consistent. There is a fire house immediately across from it, and I wondered if it had to do with that in some way, or perhaps marine radio transmission.
What do you all think?

Thanks to Dale J. for sending these photos.
I was working on another post but this material was more time sensitive, so I'll get to my other topic some other day.
The surf was only two to three feet today and will be decreasing daily for a few days.
Happy hunting,
