| Detectorist at John Brooks Near Low Tide Friday. |
I hadn't been out for quite a while, but went out to take a look at a few South Hutchinson Island beaches this afternoon. There were some decent looking beaches. The beach fronts were low, as you can see above. There were a few shells scattered near the low tide line.

At John Brooks there were some cuts both to the south and north.

| Shells on Frederick Douglass. |
One of the regulars was detecting down at Dollman (below) where it was heavily cut a week or two ago. Naturally it had changed some since then, but there was nice spot down where he was.
I believe most of the coins down there was coming from the eroded nourishment sand, but from what I could tell, some things were washing in as well. Not only were there shells, but also a few fossils, which I doubt came out of the renourishment sand. I'd bet some of the other beaches are looking decent too.
Overall, today I saw some beaches that I were worth working. Based upon the few beaches I saw I would give a 2 rating on my five-point treasure beach conditions rating scale. That is what I call transitional. A few older things might be found, but it wasn't bad at all for finding newer targets. I know a lot of clad and a few pieces of gold would be found.
I didn't get any word on what is happening in the Vero and Sebastian areas and haven't been there. I would suspect that at least one or two that tend to benefit from south winds aren't bad.
Here's one more.
