The best find today was not found with my detector. It was a new little friend, but he didn’t stay around long. He was in a real hurry to go swimming for some reason and once he hit the water I didn’t see him again.
I was finishing up my detecting this morning when I spotted tracks in the sand that looked like baby turtle tracks. The beach in front of the condo we are in has turtles coming ashore every night to lay their eggs. I looked up toward the dune and spotted a little guy going down the beach toward the water as fast as his flippers would take him. This was 8:30 on a sunny morning and these guys usually hatch at night so this guy was a little late to the party. I took a couple of stills and some videos, but I can’t post videos so I took some screen shots to post with the stills. I believe it is a baby green sea turtle from what I can find on line.
You can see that all the babies came up out of the same hole in the sand. They then spread out and literally made track to the ocean.
This one worked his way in a bee line toward the water going down into foot prints and over small sand piles to get to his destination.
He got right up to the water as the wave started to recede.
But he caught the next wave and was gone in a splash.
One nice thing about detecting is you spend a lot of time outdoors and get a chance to see flowers and animals a lot of other people who stay indoors miss.
I’ll report on the detecting finds when I get back home. So far it has been pretty sad. At least I got to make a new friend. Thanks for looking, stay safe, good luck and may your coil lead you to good things even if they aren’t made of metal.
