| Fort Pierce Beach Cam (South Beach Zoon View) From Around 8 AM Saturday. |
The big news for me today is the weather.
You can see that the surf is much rougher this morning. The waves are breaking farther out.
If you watch the cam, you'll notice that the waves are scraping right along the beach right in front of the cam that you can't see in the view.
The wind has shifted and is coming more from the East today. Yesterday it was more Northish.
You can see the mid-beach cut that was made yesterday at this spot. If the doesn't shift again, I wouldn't be surprised if the cut in this view gets washed out nearer to high tide.

Looking at yesterday's surf chart, the rougher surf wasn't expected for a few days. It got here earlier than expected.
Yesterday I showed how the cut developed in the morning.
This is the type of day I always liked to go out in the past.
I started putting up some Christmas decorations yesterday to see how it would stand up in the wind. Seems like putting my decorations out always starts a good blow.
November has often been a good metal detecting month. If you think all the way back to the legendary Thanksgiving storm of 1984, and in more recent years, 2020 and 2022 were good Novembers for finds. 2020 turned up some of those early Carlos and Juana coins from a 16th century Treasure Coast wreck.
I've written about the Thanksgiving storm several times. It produced many silver coins and also several beach escudos. Here is a link. The Treasure Beaches Report Direct From Florida's Treasure Coast.: 11/19/15 Report - Thanksgiving Before The Pilgrims. Gold Coins and Ingots. The Real Treasure.

What was supposed to be a simple construction project turned into a discovery worthy of a modern-day fairy tale. In Neuville-sur-Saône, near Lyon, France, a man unearthed a gold treasure worth an estimated $800,000 while simply digging a swimming pool, as reported by Reuters...
In other words, no crime, no theft, no dubious leads. In accordance with the French Civil Code—which stipulates that "ownership of a treasure belongs to the person who discovers it on their own land"—the owner can keep their find in its entirety. The childhood dream of finding treasure in the backyard has thus, this time, come true according to all the rules...
The big question remains: why were these gold ingots buried? With the former landowner deceased, the secret of this hiding place seems lost forever. Was it a concealed inheritance? A financial precaution? Or simply a forgotten family secret? Theories abound. One thing is certain: this seemingly ordinary construction project offered its creator an extraordinary adventure—and a fortune as unexpected as it was legitimate...
While digging in his garden, he makes a discovery that will change his life.

It seems coin jewelry is becoming more popular. There was a recent New York Times article on the subject of shipwreck jewelry, especially that of the Atocha and Margarita.
Here is a general article on the subject of coin jewelry.
