| John Brooks Beach Wednesday Morning. |
Yesterday we had some northeast winds and last night there was a lot of thunder and rain. This morning it was still cloudy until about 9 AM.
I went out to check some beaches this morning (Wednesday),
First, I took a look at John Brooks and there were no cuts there.

| Turtle Nest Marker at John Brooks Beach Wednesday Morning. |
The last couple of times I was at John Brooks beach, I pointed out the turtle nest marker shown in the photo above. The marker is now nearly buried, which shows the amount of sand accumulating at that point. In the last two or three weeks, it looks like at least a foot of sand has accumulated at that spot.

Above you can see the convex mushy beach and some seaweed.

| Frederick Douglass Beach Wednesday Morning. |
Next, I took a look at Frederick Douglass beach. As is usually the case, it looked very much like John Brooks.

On to Fort Pierce South Jetty.
 |
| Fort Pierce South Jetty Park Wednesday Morning. |
There was a long cut there - up to about five feet at the most.

| Fort Pierce South Jetty Inlet Beach Wednesday Morning. |
As I've often said, even when many beaches are not eroded, you can usually find areas where there are rocks or other obstructions to the flow of sand where you can find erosion.
Despite the cuts here, the slope below the cut was very mushy.

I had time to get in a little detecting and picked up the usual small sample of coins and sinkers, and the following ring.

| Ring Find. |
I don't know what kind of stone that is. It also has what appears to be a couple of very small diamond chips in the little triangles on each side of the red stone, which appears more orange in the photo.
It is marked 14 K S. That isn't a real common marking. The mark indicates 14 karat gold over sterling silver.

Good hunting,
