The week started with gale force winds (actually blew down a masonry wall on my construction site), then it moved up to storm force winds and yesterday we had storm force with gusts to hurricane strength.
It's quieted back down to a gale so I headed over to Horseshoe Bay this morning for the low tide. The winds are from the NW so when I got to the southshore it was fairly calm and into the water I went. A lot of fresh sand which was pretty soft on the bottom but I found a few hard patches and that is where I found a little bit of loot.
There was a dry sander working the beach and we waved to each other in passing (leaving each other to their own devices).
I found a lot of pull tabs from the wash out of the beach but I also found my first chain! It had a knot in it or I would have passed over it.
Here's the modest loot:

I'm going to try to get out for tomorrows low tide at a new beach.
Wish me Luck!
