Finally! A Beach Hunt!

[Havenhunter]

A cool, breezy, spittin' rain on-and-off kind of day kept the beach goers and the bugs away! Headed out right after lunch, not expecting to find anything within a foot thick shell midden of oyster and clam. I almost stepped on this bad boy and actually yelped when I spotted it. What a hunk of whitish gray quartz! I've seen bigger and better but only in someone else's collection. Would have loved to watch this one being made!

Wow , that is a great find and it looks to be in great
shape . Educate me here on where the beach finds
happen . I read about where the rivers come out and meet the ocean but have only been on Cal beaches
and Hawaii .
It's a large amazging find Buddie .

[OBION]

What a great find. It is hard to tell thickness from photo and flake scars because it's quartz but that sure does have a paleo look to it!

[Havenhunter]

It feels really good in the hand & has been sand polished to a luster. It's a half inch thick.

[Havenhunter]

This particular beach is the terminus of an old Chesapeake Bay paleo channel fed by numerous large tributaries.

Congratulations Deb! That's a great find.

Wow thats a pretty quartz blade, big too! Looks like a good start on a new season!

[Havenhunter]

Hey, Josh. I'm considering this one the tail end of this past season. A new season will commence with either the aftermath of a tropical system or our first big blow of fall. This was one of those quirky cool summer days so rare in the tidewater.

[Havenhunter]

Yes indeed. After all I am a child of the tides. 🌊

[Tam]

Thanks Deb that's what I have been reading how they came together , and to look there,
what a beautiful place to be . Yes you truly warrant
the title child of tides.

good for you! Have you back lit it? Set that beauty on a glass table top with low light and a small light under it and I bet it would glow.

[Havenhunter]

I'll give it a try & let you know.
