OK guys...looks like starting this weekend we are in for unusually low low tides during daylight along the treasure coast. With the combination of recent wave activity and low tides, maybe there will be some finds in the longshore sloughs that hopefully will be exposed briefly. Sorry. but with all the renourishment recently, I'm not optimistic about the cuts tho. Remember to send me your beach access fee before you go.. ;)

Thanks Bill, that is good to know. Everytime I travel up to the Treasure Coast I find something. EVERYTIME. It may be a brass spike, nail, or an Ais Indian pottery piece or a piece of lead sheathing, even a piece of silver. Nothing real valuable yet, but enough to keep me interested. Problem is no detector. I guess I'll get out the soldering gun and try to repair my old whites, or start watching e-bay. :-\
 

That's what I use too. The +/- is height variation from "normal" in tenths of a foot. Look for "-" and hit the longshore sloughs.
 

Thanks Bill for the good info and tutoring! I appreciate it!

Cap Z- this may be the "extreme low tides " I mentioned to you in my email. Worth checking out I think.

Hot tip for the lowest low tides.Watch the moon!Low tides on a new moon will be lowest.
Also the same but opposite on full moon,higher high tides,will not make a good low on full.
check out a moon phase calculator and compare it to the tide chart.Thats just how it works.
Always has Always will.For those who don't know how or why tides are tides.look it up!
Enlighten yourself,for it shall pay off in the long haul.
