I saw no cuts at Brooks, but some of the beaches to the south had some cuts. Here is one.

There are still modern coins where I detected earlier this week. They are mostly a foot or more deep and near the maximum detection depth for the Equinox. They mostly produce just a chirp.

A hearing held Monday in hopes of helping draw the case to a conclusion ended with a federal judge giving Thompson two months to find a new attorney ahead of yet another hearing...
