I believe he was a club member. He is a regular at the meetings. The club is in St. Petersburg Fl. Suncoast research and recovery club.

..... Be cautious if you go on the  web looking for the club. There is a bogus webpage SRARC that is apparently pfishing off of the real one. Search the site for the name Wally Swartz to be sure you have the real one.

Rmiller, I like to hear our old time beach hunters tell about "honey holes" they have found. They find all sorts of jewelry and coins and other heavy objects in these honey holes. They say that longshore drift parallel to the beach concentrates the jewelry and coins in pockets and once you find one of these and dig it out you come up with loads of jewelry that has been dropped over a long period of time.

I have seen places that fit the description. They have yeilded  metal objects (especially fishing sinkers) but no jewelry or coins as yet. 

What to look for is a place where the water from the waves runs parallel to the shore for a ways then turns abruptly and flows out away from the beach. the honey hole is where it turns abruptly. We used to have an Ausie on the board that described it better but I haven't heard from him lately. good luck gambol

Thanks,

That makes a lot of sense.

Whenever I find fishing weights I usually find jewelry.

I found an old book in my personal library called "The Beach Hunters Guide" by Donald a Barthel.
I read the book about 10 years ago and think he touched on it?

I'll reread it and and post anything about that if I find it?

Thanks for the tip.

JP
