| First Coin Dug This Morning |
I went out this morning to do a little metal detecting even though I had an appointment and only had about an hour to spend on the beaches. I stopped at the first beach and it looked promising, so I went back to the car and got my metal detector. The first coin I dug was the one shown above. It didn't take long, which was good, since I didn't have very much time to spend.
Here is what I saw this morning.

| South of Fort Pierce Jetty |
There was good erosion to the south and the area up by the jetty looks like the Grand Canyon. Quite a drop-off.

| John Brooks Beach Tuesday Morning. |
John Brooks beach this morning had the cut you see above. It was one to two feet, at the highest and intermittent. Nice slope and nice flat front.
