BEACH COMBING

MAGGIE BEACH COMBING!

Look at those dunes how they are shaved off. The use to come out about 5 feet more and taper down to the sandy beach. Sandy did this.
So this is my beach combing for sea shells. Used one of those scoops that people use for getting the sand fleas, to use as fishing bait. Got mine at a yard sale for $2.00 . Cheapest I have seen them was $25.00 at WM. I got about 50 lbs. of shells to day for my DD. She makes the coolest thing with them. I will ask her if its ok to post some pic’s on my blog so you all can see. Now this is the way to go to the beach! I had a chair with me today trying to make a little shade for Maggie but she would not stay put. Talked to a man with a metal detector , ask if he found anything said not yet today, he just got here, but yesterday he found an emerald  ring with diamonds and a platinum ring and a few gold chains. Now that is what I should be beach combing for! After 2 days at the beach I am tired out.
Well all for now thanks for looking and come back soon.

THE BEACH ON WED.

Wow even though the hurricane was around 200 miles away from us out to sea, the beach erosion was really bad. I would hate to see if it was closer or made land fall here. The dunes that you see at the far left of the pic, is what's left of them. The were clear out to the end of the steps, and the steps are about 5 feet under sand. They were much longer then they are now.
Sandy brought in sand and took away sand. The rock formations were not here before, you could not see them. I am amazed at what I am seeing at the beach.And shells, it is shell heaven here right now, all up and down the beach is looks like this. In some places it is 4 in. deep in shells. I went out for a walk and got some for my dd to paint here Santa's on. I think I will come back tomorrow with my scooper and get some to make a few crafty things. I was going to try the generator again today but was having to much fun on the beach so just at my lunch cold and went on with beachy things. Talked to a man that was cracking open large clams. He uses them for fishing bait. Salts them down in fridge over nite and that keeps them hard so they don’t fall of hook. Learn something new everyday. I will be coming back here on Thurs. All for now thanks for looking and come back soon
