John Brooks Beach Tuesday Morning.

I visited John Brooks this morning not far off of high tide.  As you can see, the water had been up pretty high and was at the foot of the second cliff.

There were a few surfers out this morning and a lot of fishermen.

There were some decent shell piles on the flat in front of the cliff.

Hello and thanks again for all your great articles and making metal detecting fun. I usually dig all targets and got a strong iron hit the other day just below the sand. when i dug it it looked like an rusty iron wire of some sort but attached to a rope so i kept digging. the rope was attached to a big ball of nylon netting and even though i couldn’t lift it , i drug it to the truck. after much untangling, it appears to be a cargo net from a ship or maybe something from the military. can’t believe that was buried under the sand. just shows you never know! Found in Sebastian. Jim F.

Thanks for sharing Jim.  I was really glad to hear that I help make detecting fun for you.

You do never know what might be down there until you see it.

It looks like that second one could come our way.  Too soon to tell, but keep watching.  It might get interesting.

Happy hunting,
