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

Tracking Station Beach Friday.

I very recently posted a photo of the Tracking Station beach and indicated it was closed for repairs and renourishment. It looks like those repairs have been made and the beach is open again.

Joe D. also sent this photo of Vero South Beach Park.

I haven't been there for quite a while. It was probably two or more years ago.

Joe mentioned that he just discovered that Blind Creek is now a nudist beach, so if you didn't know that be warned. It has been a nudist beach for a few years now. For a while only the beach to the south was, but it now extends both directions.

If you like naked dogs a lot more than naked humans, visit Walton Rocks instead of Blind Creek.

Hurricane Lorenzo.

Lorenzo is the only storm showing on the National Hurricane Center map now, and is now a category four hurricane that is still sending swells our way.

The surf predictions from MagicSeaWeed don't look that promising even though there will be some nice high tides.

9/27/19 Report - Tracking Station Closed for Beach Repairs. Couple Mystery Items. Painting Discovered Worth Millions.

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

Tracking Station Beach

Tracking Station Beach is one of those beaches that doesn't get much attention - at least not by people that don't know about it. It looks pretty good in the photo above, but it is one of those that is already closed for repairs. I knew this would be coming.

Here is the link for the source article.

Thanks to DJ for the link.

JK sent these photos and would like to know if anyone can come up with an ID. Here is what he said.

So I dug this item about a year ago on Florida’s east coast. It was probably almost 10inches down. Strong Iron signal. It’s got some weight to it. I have no idea what it is, but it always interested me. It has what looks to me like four screws or something on each corner on the back. At the bottom of the front it has what kind of looks like a horse or dragon head on it?? A little piece came off the bottom of the “head”...

JK actually sent several more photos, but I think these three excellent photos are enough to give you the idea.

What do you think?

Here is one I've had sitting around for a while. It looks very much like an unstruck penny, which is what I thought it might be for a while. The diameter is right but the weight is too light. Notice the rough surface.

Copper Round Blank.

What do you think?

A painting that has been hanging in the kitchen of elderly woman was discovered to be by a Renaissance artist and worth something like $6.6 million. It will go up for auction.

It looks like Karen and Lorenzo will be nothing more than fish storms. It also looks like we won't get as much surf as was predicted earlier by MagicSeaWeed.com.

Happy hunting,
