Turtle Trail Monday by DJ.

Above you see Turtle Trail as it looked Monday.  DJ took the above photos to serve as a base line for comparison Tuesday after the front came though.  Below are the photos of Turtle Trail, taken by DJ around low tide at 8:30 AM.

You can see the changes for yourself.  Below is how DJ described it.

About a 4-5 foot cut ran both directions as far as I could see. It was in dumped sand. Not many targets but lots of larger and older shells and rocks like we used to see.

What does not show is how low the beachfront at the swash is. When I stood there my head was below the upper landscaped dune.

DJ then went on to Seagrape.

After scouting Turtle Trail thought I would go north to see if the cut ran closer to the dunes. Stopped at Seagrape and saw more shells and rocks. And some shell piles with heavy shells.

Found a tent peg (rang up high), some modern coins that had been there a while, a .22 bullet, the lip from an old large conch shell and some of the largest iron flakes I have seen.

Also found a rock shaped conglomerate that rang middle tones and a little iron. The rock is kind of unusual and has metal imbedded in it so it’s not really a rock but can’t tell what it is.

I’ll try to crack it open and let you know.

Conditions sure seem better and if we get another front before the east wind who knows?

Regards

DJ

This cut developed since Monday.  Turtle Trail was also cut Tuesday morning.  Al C. sent the following photos of John Brooks from about 8:30 AM Tuesday

Thanks to AL C. and DJ for the great beach photos.

So there are three or four beaches that developed cuts after the front came through.

I'm pretty confident that some old shipwreck items will be found.  If you recall my old beach conditiosn rating scale, I'd give current beach conditions a good three and maybe more.  Not only are there some nice cuts, but the beach front is low and there are shells and rocks - all good signs.

Notice once again, how some of the beaches are correlated.  

I feel like I'm forgetting something, but I'll go ahead and get this posted and maybe be back later.

Good hunting,
