This is a controversial subject along the Florida coast. I for one, think that is is a waste of taxpayers money. Not because it really messes up my beach detecting time, but because it messes with the natural order of things. I have lived beach side now for over 10 years, and I have watched them re-nourish the beaches time and again from Cape Canaveral down to Jupiter. The one constant seems to be that within a year, mother nature puts things back the way they once were. However, I have never documented this process in the past. So here goes...
These pictures were taken yesterday afternoon at Pelican Park Beach in the sleepy beach side village of Satellite Beach Florida. I have chosen this beach because it is just down the street from by home, and one of my faverite beaches to detect.

Our "treasure coast" beaches are pretty much destroyed as for finding any "treasure". I enjoy getting out in the sun and fresh air, but don't really expect to find anything anymore. I'm not real sure what the future of beach hunting is from now on..we've probably recently had the most storm activity since the fleet sank, and all for naught. Especially since anything significant is now buried under yards of dirt.

Frustrating.
