9/30/25 Report - South Hutchinson Island Beaches Show Up to Four Foot Cuts Run for Miles. Improved Beach Metal Detecting Conditions.

 

Written by the TreasureGuide for the exclusive use of the Treasure Beaches Report.

John Brooks Beach Monday Afternoon.

I went out to the beach Mondayy evening.  In the afternoon, on the Fort Pierce South Jetty beach cam, I noticed a cut beginning to the south, so I thought the erosion might continue and went out later in the afternoon to see how the beaches were developing elsewhere.

I first stopped at John Brooks, probably around six o'clock, and found the cut shown above.  Up to the north a ways, the cut was about four feet high.  That is the best I've seen in quite a while, but the water was still petty high.

There was one detectorist just leaving the beach.

Then I went to Frederick Douglass beach.

As usual, Frederick Douglass lookded very much like John Brooks.

The cut continue down to Middle Cove, as you can see below.

I didn't look up around the bend.

I saw the cut developing north of John Brooks and the condos earlier in the afternoon.

The erosion was the best I've seen for quite a while.  

There will be some treasure coins found during these conditions, that using my old beach conditions rating scale, I'd call at least a level 3.  

If it was not for all the summer accumulation and remaining renourishment sand, it would be even better.

I didn't get time to see the Indian River County beaches this afternoon. 

I'll be watching to see how things continue to develop, but we are off to a good Fall season.

I wanted to post these pictures posted early.

Good hunting,
