The Beginning of a Huge Find.
See LifeDaily article (link below).

What Mike had stumbled across was a complete chariot that had been buried there. It was not an uncommon tradition at a certain time in history to do so but finding a site like that was exceptionally rare...
“My first find was a Celtic horse harness junction piece,” Mike informed reporters. “When I found it my friends said I would never top it, but the next day I went back and found the rest.” There was more...
Much more.

And More.

Here is the link for a very long detailed account of this unbelievable metal detecting experience.
Any detectorist will enjoy this good long read. It is unlike the academic articles that I've been posting lately and gives a detectorist POV story.
This is the kind of find they fantasize about finding on Oak Island.

JamminJack went out on a rainy day and was glad he did because he found this Marion point.

He said he wanted to remind people that you can make finds if you go out. Persistence pays off.
Rainy days can be good for eye-balling. So can windy days.
From arrowheads to ambergris.
Tim M. said his wife found a 134 gram ball of ambergris near Hermans Bay.
I once posted about a boy finding $60,000 worth of ambergris. It is valuable and used in perfume.
A boy found $60,000 worth of what of what on the beach? Ambergris. What's that?
Whale vomit or whale poop. Seems they can't make up there mind exactly what ambergris is. But who would want to smell that? It seems a lot of people do.
Just an unusual story about a boy that finds $60,000 worth of the stuff on a beach.

I took a walk yesterday and found this glass stopper along with a couple common bottles. I'm always glad to find glass stoppers because I have plenty of bottles that are missing their stoppers.

Glass Stopper Find.

Like JamminJack I'd like to remind you that if you really want to find something, you need to spend time searching. And there is always someplace to hunt and something to find.
This morning I took a look at a few South Hutchinson Island beaches.
Here is what I saw a Frederick Douglass Beach.

Frederick Douglass Beach Monday Morning Just After Low Tide.

Frederick Douglass Beaches had some small cuts at the high tide line this morning. The cuts to the South were two to three feet high. The slope was mushy. You can see the seaweed.

I looked at two other South Hutshinson Island beaches this morning. They were similar but had even smaller cuts than Frederick Douglass.
The lower beach was very convex.
West Palm Beach beaches are scheduled to open next Monday.
Martin County beaches are open, but only to residents of Martin County.
The wind increased this morning and is coming from the north. The surf is running around three feet, but is expected to increase up to four to seven feet Thursday.
Keep looking,
