Turtle Trail Beach Thursday Morning.
|
It looks like we could get our first tropical storm of the year before long. More on that later.
I took a look at a few beaches. At Turtle Trail this morning, there was a little erosion, as you can see above. Just the top of the bags was showing.
There was a flat area in front of the beach that had mostly aluminum bits but also a few pieces of lead. The biggest piece of lead I got was a small strip, maybe two inches square if it wasn't folded.

The flat wet area is where I was finding most of the targets.
I dug a few small holes just to see how deep the orange sand was and found that it was more than a foot where I checked, but I didn't get all the way down to it.
As I was leaving, I saw Warren doing a few test holes. He mentioned that the orange sand was down about 18 inches at one location. That is about what I would expect when just the top of the bags are showing.
The parking lot at Seagrape Trail was still closed.

Ambersands Beach Thursday Morning.
|
Here is what Ambersands looked like. I didn't check it with the detector at all.
Over the past couple of weeks, if anything, it has deteriorated a little.

Wednesday evening I took a look at John Brooks. It was much like Turtle Trail, with a small cut pretty far back on the beach and a lot of sand out front.
The cut at Turtle Trail was fresher, and the bar in front of Brooks was wider.

Frederick Douglass Beach Wednesday

Rick lost his controller for his XPDeus, so if anyone finds it, let me put you in touch with Rick. Here is what he said.
While there I lost my controller for my XPDeus that came off my chest high holder that was Velcroed on and I was using the controller for my pin pointer!
At the time I was using my Equinox 800 to hunt with down in the wet so if you hear of anyone finding a controller I lost it!

As I said, a tropical storm is forming down south.

According to the NHC, Environmental conditions are expected to become conducive for
development, and this system is likely to become a tropical or
subtropical depression or storm this weekend when it is located near
or north of the northwestern Bahamas. The system is forecast to
move generally northeastward over the western Atlantic early next
week. Regardless of development, the disturbance is expected to
bring locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds to portions of
southeastern Florida and the central and northwestern Bahamas over
the next couple of days...
The beaches are not too far off now. If we can get some good direction to the wind and swells, we could get some nice finds.
Happy hunting,
