Above you can see what is going on at the Turtle Trail access. Below is the schedule for beach closings and other information.
Thanks to DJ for sending me that.

If you just like history or want to find some good new detecting sites, here is a site that will give you both. Here is an excerpt to give you the idea.
We have had several news stories this week concerning the Second Seminole War. The first two stories I will only briefly discuss. The third is more interesting. All three stories involve cemeteries.
From an article in the Tampa Times newspaper, we learn of remains of five soldiers found near the former site of Fort Brooke in downtown Tampa. They have been reinterred at a local cemetery with full military honors.
Since Fort Brooke was an active military post starting in 1824 for the next 60 years, they could be from any period of this history.
Previously, Seminole burials were found in the same area downtown and returned to the Seminole Tribe of Florida. That is why the Seminole Tribe has a casino and complex on the other side of town from Fort Brooke, which the city gave to the tribe as a place to rebury the remains back around 1980...
And here is the link if you want to follow up on that.

The posts don't seem to be frequent, and I found the site difficult to navigate. Give it a try.

Another interesting site to visit if you are down in Dade County is the Arch Creek park. I haven't been there for a long time, but when I was there you could see indigenous artifacts laying on the surface around old tree roots. That was before the park was as developed.
It is a very interesting place and they did have one building with a few artifacts, including old bottles dredged from the water. A Seminole War battle took place there.
Here is that link.

The recent north swells will give way to south winds Sunday. While either can stir up beach fronts, I don't like the frequent shifts.

After Sunday and Monday, it looks like we'll be in for several days of small surf.
Happy hunting,
