John Brooks Beach This Morning.
|
I went out to take a look at a few beaches this morning. My first stop was at John Brooks. As you can see above there was a lot of seaweed. There was a flat front beach that was building. You can also see a small cut in the photo.

Frederick Douglass Beach This Morning.
|
Frederick Douglass, as usual, was very much like John Brooks. Notice the waves breaking right on edge of the front beach.
The difference at Walton Rocks is the bar about 75 yards out and the small dip in the water in front of the beach. The waves are breaking on the bar.
Unlike John Brooks and Frederick Douglass, you don't have the flat front beach at Walton Rocks.

Walton Rocks This Morning.

I did about twenty minutes of detecting in the dry sand this morning and found a handful of coins and a silver shepherd's hook earring and small turtle. I don't know what that is mounted in the center of the earring. No good finds, but I enjoyed spending a little time before it got real hot.

Morning Finds.
|
I was actually surprised by the number of easy finds this morning, even if they aren't much good.

Captain Jonah says he is off to a slow start but will be sending photos when good finds are made.

I've been listing some mistakes I've made. Here is another.
Yesterday I posted some fossils. I was looking for a dire wolf tooth that I found near the water's edge one day all by itself. I precisely remember finding it and where, and I remember the research I did on it, but I couldn't find it when I wanted to. I have one box of fossils and some of them are stored in bags with their labels, but I have fossils in other places too. The mistake is pretty obvious: I wasn't organized enough in how I stored things. Some were just thrown in a box together. Some were in different places. Right now I don't know where the dire wolf tooth is and there are probably a number of others that I couldn't find right away if I wanted to. That doesn't apply to just fossils.
You might think you'll remember where things are and there is no reason to take the time, but if you are like me, the years will pass and you won't be able to locate finds when you want to. That is an easy enough problem to solve, but you have to decide it is worth taking the time. It might not seem like it now, but it will later.

For an insightful look at COVID-19, try the book that Amazon.com tried to censure - Unreported Truths about COVID-19 and Lockdowns: Part 1: Introduction and Death Counts and Estimates by Alex Berenson. Amazon.com made tons of money as the primary online shopping retailer during the lockdowns.
Here is the link.

Don't expect beach conditions to change much for at least a few days. There is no tropical activity on the NHC map right now.
The surf is running around two or three feet, and the surf is small.
Happy hunting,
