Got out again for a 2-3 hour beach hunt with SPhillips last Sun. in Sebastian. Construction and beach work ruined our plans to park/meet at the metal gate about 900 meters north of, and then head south to, McClarty. He had to start about 2000 meters north. I got there later but found a beach access about 1500 meters north that put me within eyesight of him. It was a beautiful day. You can see the furrows from the heavy equipment in these images.
He filled me in on his finds which consisted of some grey/white metal rectangles (modern aluminum?) like this one I found.
He also found some other interesting curved grey/white metal (pewter?) we weren't sure about.
After we left, I received approval/permission to access the beach this one time at an area just south of the museum. I headed north past the museum and had limited finds. no positive ID on any of it but still fun.
Conglomerate and pottery dark shard (?)
5/8" diameter stone reef balls.
Two pieces of grey/white metal, including the rectangle shown earlier.
The amoeba shaped one might be sliver since it seems to have some black spots/tarnishing on it. It also looks to be folded over on itself on one end.
All in all it turned into a great day to finally get the AT Max back in the swing of things.
Thanks for looking and any insight into any of the items.
EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot I found this odd little female. Never seen one before (2 actually) but they are called a "Beach mole Crab" and this is a female and larger than a sand flea. When I first saw it I thought I had cut a sand flea in half because it was as wide as it was long but still trying to dig. Notice the little circular claws on the front and hind legs. It's hard to describe, but it was digging through the sand differently than a normal sand flea. Like a tank compared to a submarine for the sand flea. Both returned to the sea unharmed to feed a pompano at some later date.
