Beach Erosion Ring & Bling, Plus a Cool Little Truck

[SoCalBeachScanner]

-
SoCal had some high surf the last few days, so early this morning, I went hunting cuts in the beach. High surf alone doesn't do much erosion to find the old stuff. SoCal needs; high surf, driving storm winds out of the NW, with higher then normal high tides, then the treasure chest opens.

I found a Silver Ring with some Bling that needed a good scrubbing to see the 925. An unmarked Gold Bling Thing with Ice that must have recently dropped off the top of the cut. I have no idea what it is or where you would mount it. I also found some kind of hinged float thing that looks kinda like a float out of a carburetor or maybe a bilged pump float.

And! What I believe is my best find of the day. A very cool Little Metal Truck that has the best Beach Patina of any toy vehicle that I have ever found

Thanks for looking....

Amazing truck, the gold odd item in question, does the larger gem orb unscrew? If so it maybe a custom piece for upper earlobe piercings.

Thanks hubcap76 ... nothing unscrews on the gold thing. Looks like it was made to slip on to something that a woman would carry or wear.

Very cool stuff!

Thanks RG

Did you save those beer cans? They are antiques!

thanx for including pix of the in-situ cuts!

Wouldn't the better storms/swells for you be out of the S or SW ? Or at most straight-on-west ? Since your beaches are facing SW.

and have you found any more silver at your dry sand zone with reachable hard-pack settle zone ?

Hi Tom ... I sent you answers to your questions on a PM

Hi Tom ... I sent you answers to your questions on a PM

So cal, I replied to your PM. Thanx. And I want to add here, to your thread, a comment on the N, vs NW, vs W, vs SW, vs S. thing.

Yes, I don't doubt that the usual swell direction that rakes CA all the time is NW. Naturally. Because the swells are coming down from Alaska, or straight on west from Japan. So I wasn't commenting on what type direction you and I would *ordinarilly* be getting, but rather, *what we HOPE* to be getting.

Storms south of the equator can make waves, that can travel thousands of miles to reach here to CA. Those are swells. And yes they'd arrive without local wind or rain. But they can do erosion too. There need not be "on-shore" winds to assist the swells. Swells on their own can erode. Although, yes, on-shore winds help. And yes, NW or W swells can also erode. But the HEIGHTS needed for those those W or NW swells would need to be very high to get in past the shadow and the channel islands you have there. Hence I was saying that you would be benefitted the best by south swells.

And those south or southwest swells can arrive without any adverse local weather at all. So the only way you'd know about them, is to watch the surfer websites, or weather scanner broadcasts. Like up here where I'm at, we have Santa Cruz main beach, which sort of mimics your So. CA beaches. It too faces S or SW. And we've noticed that it can erode with as little as 5-ish ft, AS LONG AS THAT'S A SOUTHERLY DIRECTION. But "5 ft." from the north or northwest would be a ho-hum non-event, doing no erosion. It takes 15 ft or better coming form the N or NW to strike me as able to erode. Why? Because each beach acclimates to its own set of "norms". And so the beaches with view of the NW are simply acclimated to those oridinarilly higher alaskan NW swells.

Hope that's a little more clear.

Nice finds. I want to find a patina cannon. Were getting sand pumped,trucked and flown in before turtle season starts. I love turtles.
