"The condition of the coins suggests they were part of a single chest or shipment that spilled when the ship broke apart in the hurricane’s fury," the press release added.

Guttuso said in a phone call on Thursday that the coins were found scattered in a concentrated area deep in the sand. He added that the coins are believed to have once been in a container, as some of them bear the pattern of a burlap sack imprinted on them...

He added that one of the items found along with the coins is a royal lead seal bearing the impression of Philip II of Spain, who ruled in the mid-to-late 1500s...

Looking ahead, here is the National Hurricane Center map showing the newest are of interest taking a track similar to others this year.  Looks like it will stay out in the Atlantic.  It suspect it will, however, send us some more surf, and possible from a more northerly angle.

One model, ECMWF, shows the following for this coming Saturday.  You can see the circulation just north of Florida and the resulting north wind flow.

Surf Chart for the Fort Pierce Jetty Area from SurfGuru.com.

SurfGuru is showing only three- or four-foot surf for the Fort Pierce area next Saturday.  I'll be watching to see if that might change, which it certainly could.

The SurfGuru chart, shown above, is showing a predicted north wind at that time.  We'll see how that all goes together.

The surf is predicted to be decreasing daily for a few days.  You might want to watch for a good chance to check some low tide areas when there is a good low tide.  

Keep watching how things develop.  You'll make better decisions in the future if you keep track of how things develop day by day.

Today (Monday), the high tides are both over 3.5 feet.  Those are pertty good high tides.

Good hunting,
