John Brooks Friday Morning.

It was foggy this morning.  Above is shown John Brooks beach this morning.  The water had been fairly far back on the beach, but the slope was mushy.


John Brooks Beach Friday Morning.


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


Same Area I Detected Tuesday.


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.  The cut was a little farther back today.  I keep hoping the area will lose a foot or more of sand.  As it is, it takes a lot of digging - too much for modern coins.

At one spot, the water would have to get back another six or seven feet to start cutting into the dunes.  I doubt that will happen this week.


Alberto S. found the Seagrape Trail access open and sent the following post-renourishment photos yesterday.

Thanks Alberto.

As you can see, some of the renourishment sand is already washed down, but there is a huge amount remaining.

The long-running case of a former deep-sea treasure hunter marking his sixth year in jail for refusing to disclose the whereabouts of missing gold coins from an historic shipwreck has hit yet another roadblock after a judge on Monday ordered the man to find a new lawyer.


The hearing came just days after a massive ingot from the shipwreck sold at auction for over $2 million.

Research scientist Tommy Thompson has been held in contempt of court since Dec. 15, 2015, for that refusal. He is also incurring a daily fine of $1,000. 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...

The surf will be a little higher this afternoon, but not much.

I'm not expecting much change for a few days.

Happy hunting,
