| Walton Rocks Tuesday by Joe D. |
I'll start out with beach photos from Tuesday and below present Wednesday photos. That will allow you to see how some of the beaches changed in the past day.
Joe D. took the Tuesday photos. Below is Joe's report.
The ring i found yesterday here in Melbourne; it's Sterling. Today we drove all the way to Walton Rocks and worked our way all the way back to Melbourne! Only detected at John Brooks, and the huge cut at South Jettty Park, as they were shoring up the sand where its about to erode the roadways there! Tons of signals and junk, but we only managed a few very crusty coins there with our dueling Manticore's!😆 Erosion and cuts got progressively smaller as we went back North! Always interesting to see how different the beaches are, as you travel some distance! Ft.Pierce definitely cought the majority of erosion! The jetty cam doesn't do it justice!🤯 Hopefully more good detecting ahead with the lovely weather.
Below are more of Joe's pictures.

It looks like the Wednesday cut at John Brook was smaller than Tuesday, for example.

I went out this morning (Wed.) and did a little hunting. Below is what I saw.
 |
| John Brooks Wed. Morning. |
There was a cut a Brooks, but from the previous photos submitted by readers, it looked like the cuts here were not as good. They are smaller. The sand at the top of the slope in front of the cuts was mushy. Targets were very scarce there.

| John Brooks Wednesday Morning |
Again, the cut is diminished.

| Walton Rocks Wednesday Morning. |
The photo above doesn't show it, but there were some very small cuts to the north and below the small cuts were some dips that held a good number of targets, some good but with a LOT of junk.
There was older orange sand just below the surface and some shell layers below that. I spent some time picking through the junk.
At the southern end of that area was a lot of small iron - some of it splinter small. A little farther in was lead and little bits of copper. But there were some crusty green coins in between.

| Looking South at Walton Rocks. |
There were some decent sounding deep targets down there. I regretfully left some of them because of the depth and underlying rocks.
 |
| Example of Partially Exposed Rock. |
There weren't as many exposed rocks here as there was the last time I was there. The rock shown above is about three or four feet long.

| Surf Chart from SurfGuru.com. |
Looks like the surf will be from the east until the next front arrives.
You can see the wind shift just before the surf increases. That has been the usual pattern with these fronts.
The cuts have been starting before the surf peaks. The wind cycle is quick. You see the cuts and then the wind surf direction changes and the filling starts again.
It will be good if we get some more erosion before the present erosion completely disappears.

Good hunting,
