More sand on the way

[Denniss]

It looks like more sand is on the way, we need lots of good north easters this winter

Heavy winds, high surf fuel more beach erosion in Indian River County - VeroNews: Indian River County Government


“As early as January, the county hopes to once again rebuild some of these beaches, but the scope will be much smaller this time as money for only about 155,000 cubic yards of sand is budgeted. Also in January, the Sebastian Inlet District will begin rebuilding a three-mile stretch of beach starting about a half a mile south of the inlet to about a half a mile south of Ambersand Beach.”

Denniss, Thanks for that post. Please keep us updated and maybe a bunch of us could meet up for coffee or a beer at the end of the day. ( I promise not to leave any replica gold coins on the beach when I leave this time. )

This might be a silly question but why...if money is limited are they covering only shipwreck beaches and not busy stretches of beach?

Because of the archies, who never go to the beach?

I've gotta believe that's partially true... In all seriousness all the items on the beach are out of context so each is an individual isolated find.
There's not going to be much archaeological information to come from those items... When its all boiled down they're likely in bed together with the state over this..$$$$
You don't see the state working with any salvage operation to preserve the integrity and information to be gleaned from a wreck without gold silver and jewels.
Any one of them who says it's about the historical value can go pound sand.
It's probably only a matter of time until permits are issued to salvage the beach

"Pound sand" - great pun!

Yeah, in Wisconsin, on DNR "lands and waters", detecting is prohibited unless you are looking for your specific lost items.
