Last two days in SE Fla hasn't cut beaches-just sloping erosion. See my post on Hillsboro for Wednesday. Yesterday, did not get out to local beach till after low tide, because I had to pick up wife from airport--flying in from a business trip. I hunted till 6:30ish. I hunted the wet sand and avoided the water because the tide was coming in with the surge. When I first arrived, wind and rain uncovered every piece of trash on the flat part of the beach where people lounge. It would have been easy to eyeball finds--I did so on a few coins in just one area. Mostly, I was getting coins at the top of the slopes-no jewelry and no old coins. When squaw hit, it gusted 40-50mph, and now came from due east. It began bringing in sand and it pushed waves up over 50% of beach. My poncho would not stay snapped so I gave up, took it off and tucked it around my web belt. I had to hunker down the back side of a lifeguard stand until it let up a bit. It rained hard and it rained sideways. BTW-- Wanted to be at Boca or Jupiter Beach this am but I must work tonight, thus reversing my days back to nights until my next few days off. Hence, gotta sleep today.
