Beach Rebuilding; Galveston

I'm looking for a current photo of the area from 61st to East Beach. Understand they are rebuilding the beach from 10th to 61st. I already have a photo mosaic of the area taken a day or so after "IKE".

I've also been looking at pics of previous rebuilding efforts around the 33rd street area. Pictures just after "IKE" show most of that sand stripped off the beach and somewhat suspended or deposited in the waters just offshore.

Would kinda like to know where they are taking the sand from at East and Stewart Beaches as the pics just after "IKE" show not whole lot of sand left there.

Need the info for planning purposes.

Plan your trip elsewhere Ron, the replenishment is in FULL SWING and it is a dry hole out there. Example, 61st to 10th is getting about 5' of sand piled high upon it, while we speak. Go somewhere else.
 
Yep, that sure makes for tough hunting. Not sure if we'll wind up down there or maybe further down the coast. Need a break from the winter weather in any case.

Take Care and HH

brought in dredged spoil from out deep, about 2.2 billion tons of sand. Ruined the hunting, only thing left is new stuff, until nature does her thing and pulls some of it away. Stinks!
 
R-n-R:

Most of this sand is coming from two of the local beaches. I'm thinking that if you're into dry sand hunting, there is some potential.

As far as hunting wet sand, finding goodies consistently is just not going to happen. On the other hand, I believe that there will be patches where all the good stuff will be concentrated. Having the ability to move quickly and cover lots of beach is the key. My suspicion is that once you find one of these patches, you'll be busy there for quite a while.

Check out that lake yet? HH

Sometimes dredging is a good thing.
Years ago they did it at Coney Island in New York.
Lots of old coins came in with it too! Peace Dollars,etc.
Not all hope is lost!!!
