Finding Pottery Beach Combing

(April 2018) … I was surf fishing tonight and my friend wanted to do some beach combing. Good combination when you fish like I do on an empty beach.  The opportunities are extensive, fish for a bit at a cut and then drive to the next spot.  She moves cut to cut beach combing.  We travel in the same direction, I fish the cuts.
“The shells out here today are killer finds”  ..
“Yup, fishing sucks.”

We keep moving down the beach against the tide.  I drive to a spot, she keeps looking for shells.  The stick people haven’t been here either. If you ever see lines n the sand in long wavy patterns. The stick people have been there and you will find little to nothing. Professional beach combers, if that is a thing, mark where they have looked with their walking sticks. Long wavy lines like a graph. 
 I hear off in the distance  “Whoooo Hoooo!”

I think to myself … “Well, she found something cool, and hopefully not a body part this time.” 
I head down there casting as I go.  “Look at this cool pottery find”!  We will see in time if it is something old, or something new that was made to look old.

Fish On!
