The tropics are getting active again. And although the surf has not been big, the tides have been pretty big and we're seeing some erosion to a few front beaches. Below is an example.

| Scooped Out Dip Near Walton Rocks. |
Down around Bathtub beach there was a lot of sand loss recently too. I keep mentioning those places where there are obstacles to the flow of sand. Those eroded locations are scattered and they aren't dramatic, but they are out there.
I showed you how the bags at Turtle Trail were more uncovered yesterday, and a few days earlier. down in Martin County there have been some eroded spots too, such as around the Bathtub Beach/House of Refuge area. They might just run ten or twenty yards, but you can find some dips, even if they aren't all where you'd want them to be.
The surf hasn't been big, but the tides have still have been pretty big and they have been chipping away at a few spots for a while now. Pay attention to the wind Sunday PM.

| Recetly Washed Up On St. Johns Beach. Source: See StAugustine.com link below. |
A little over a week ago, a curious metal structure was found in South Ponte Vedra Beach. After photos were posted on Twitter, people pegged it as the tail end of a World War II-era fighter plane.
"A nor'easter is the kind of thing that will stir up the bottom and bring these bits of history to life," said Chuck Meide, director of the Lighthouse Maritime Archaeological Program, also called LAMP.
Meide and his colleagues are caring for the plane part now. It could be part of a Grumman F4F Wildcat, a U.S. Navy fighter plane used in WWII, Meide said...
Here is that link.
Looks like St. Johns has been getting more north winds than us. According to Ventusky.com that will continue.

I'm going to recommend that you read very carefully a single sentence from my 10/2 post. There is a lot in that little sentence, and if you get it, it can move you to another level of metal detecting.\
Here it is once again.
Cline says, "As Dave McCracken states in his dredging videos, when you hit pay dirt or the paystreak, the hardest thing to do is to fall back and find the tail end of the flow."
Someday soon I might take the time to break out all the implications. It has big implications for beach hunting.
