Turtle Trail Afternoon of 2/25/19.
I was in the Vero area for an appointment yesterday and found time to stop at Turtle Trail.  It was about 2 PM.   There were a two detectorists already there.  You can see one of them in the distance in the photo below.

Farther south from the access there were some shallow scallops.  You can see that in the photo below.

I didn't get to select the time for my visit, but was glad to get there for a little while anyhow.

Dale J. took the following photos of Seagrape and Wabasso yesterday.

This morning, I visited a few beaches on South Hutchinson Island.  Below are shots of Blind Creek, Frederick Douglas, John Brooks, and Fort Pierce South Jetty, in that order.

Frederick Douglas Beach This Morning Near Low Tide.

The South Hutchinson Island beaches that I saw all looked pretty much the same this morning.  There were no new cuts.  All the beaches had seaweed. sloping and soft down to the wet area.  There were also some Portuguese Man-O-War.

One detectorist was working South Jetty this morning.  You can see him in the photo.

I didn't see any other detectorists this morning.

Mysterious underground vault discovered on grounds of N.S. legislature.

Archaeologist says the large chamber isn't mentioned in any records or maps.

Archaeologists expected the land surrounding Province House in downtown Halifax to be fertile ground for finding artifacts, but they never expected to uncover an underground stone vault roughly the size of a living room...


Here is that link.

I seldom look at the comments, but figured there would be some relating this to the Oak Island show - and there were, including one that pointed out that this is very close to where they went to look for a stone they wanted to find.

This morning I took out my detector for a little while.  I only found clad, but I was reminded how important it is to spend time with your detector.  My pinpointing and target ID skills were a little rusty.  That is also one disadvantage of using different detectors.  It always take me a little while to make the transition.  I don't have trouble using the second detector, but I'm not quite as sharp.  There are a lot of subtle differences between detectors that you might not even notice unless you really focus on it.

The surf is supposed to be around two to four feet today and a little less tomorrow.
