| Clip from Jupiter Beach Cam. |
My main point today is that there a number of beach cams available on the internet that you might find useful. You can always check a few to get an idea of what is going on with the surf and the various beaches before you go out.
When I look at the Jupiter beach cam shown above, the first thing I notice is that it doesn't look anything like it did back two or three decades ago. When I started hunting there was no paved parking lot and the drop-off at the back of the dunes was more dramatic. Parking was under the Australian pines that covered the area behind the dunes. That is when reales were washing out of what is now the parking lot area. I've told stories about Jupiter beach and finds made there in the past. I liked it way better back then.
Here is the link to the Jupiter Beach web cam.

One thing to remember is that most of the beach cams provide a variety of views. Look for the camera controls and select the view you want.

| Jensen Beach Web Cam. |
Here is Jensen. I also remember when it looked very different. There are some cool treasure stories from there as well including a box of treasure coins found by a motel worker early one morning back in the day. Below is the link to that beach cam.

Again lots of sand, but also some erosion, and a paved parking lot.
Reminds me of the old Joni Mitchell song, "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot."
Here is the link for that cam.

| Fort Pierce Beach Cam. |
And here is one that I've been showing a lot lately. You saw the massive erosion to South Jetty Beach. This one is a decent indicator for Brooks and Douglass as well. You can almost see them in the distance.
This clip is from yesterday, but not much has changed. Today's looks about the same, but the surf looks even calmer.

Like some of the others, the Sebastian web cam doesn't give great views of the beach, but you can see the surf and the beach to the south.

Of course, you can find more beach cams if you look, but above are some you might find interesting.

Believe it or not, one of the most sought-after nickels right now is remarkably recent. The United States Mint produced approximately 896 million of the 2024 nickels, compared to their usual production of over 1 billion nickels annually. This dramatic reduction in mintage has created an unexpected collecting frenzy.

I was busy yesterday and halted my electrolysis. I'll get it started again today.
