| John Brooks Beach Wednesday Around Noon. |
I had an appointment this morning and was close enough to the beach to take a quick look at John Brooks even though I didn't have my metal detector along.
Since I was there a couple days ago, the cuts up around the bend had disappeared. And the slope was now steeper.

The TG Beach Cam made one catch. Here is a fellow resing in the sun with his trusty metal detector laying on the sand beside him.

A pathogen possibly responsible for one of several catastrophic sixteenth-century epidemics in Mexico has been identified in DNA taken from the teeth of several of its victims. The 1545 huey cocoliztli, or “great pestilence,” as it was called at the time in the Nahuatl language, raged through Mesoamerica 25 years after the Spanish arrived, killing tens of millions. Working with genetic material from 29 individuals buried in the only known cemetery from the 1545 outbreak, a team from Germany’s Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History has discovered the presence of Salmonella enterica serovar Paratyphi C, a bacterium that causes paratyphoid fever. It’s rare today but has a high mortality rate if untreated. Max Planck’s Christina Warinner says, “People have been wondering about the cause of this epidemic for 500 years.”...Here is that link.

As you make a lot of finds, unless you quickly sell them, you'll want to be able to find a particluar item from time to time. That won't be easy unless you organized your finds better than I i
The more you find, the harder it gets. And it doesn't matter if you are talking about coins, jewelry, bottles, fossils or what. You'll be much better off, if you categorize and organize your finds well. It might not seem that important at first, but the longer you go and the more finds you accumulate, the more important it will to store things in an organized manner.
Your collection will grow and you might have to reorganize things. Otherwise you'll find yourself wishing you could remember where you put the thing you want to take another look at.

The surf will be deceasing the next few days. We are having some good big tides now though.
I heard some of the beaches up around Melborne were closed because of jelly fish.
