It didn't look much good near the access, so I took a good long walk until I found a better looking spot.

Below are a few of the kinds of things I was digging low on the beach.

| Items Dug Low On The Beach Wednesday. |
Higher on the beach where it was easier to dig, there was more junk. There was clear classification, and I knew I needed to be lower on the beach. I should have been there at low tide. I haven't done much rough-water detecting lately. There were undoubtedly more good targets there, but the water was too rough .
Besides the difficulty of recovering targets in white water at the beach, I'm always afraid of damaging the coil.
If you notice the arrow shaped item above the shell, I dug a very similar item a few weeks ago. I never really got a good ID, but it looks like part of a small latch or whatever. The new part looks like it might fit into the one I found before, but it doesn't quite fit now, possibly due to the corrosion.

The surf isn't big, and the waves have been hitting from a southerly direction, but if you look real hard, I'm sure there are some areas worth working out there.
Good hunting,
