Wandered out to the coast a few days ago and walked a good chunk of Damon Point at low tide. I came back with only a few rocks, one of which was a very tiny red-banded agate piece (like smaller than thumbnail size). A few other clear agates, some odds and ends, but nothing to write home about. This was a new beach to me and after seeing pictures of what other people have found on Damon Point and reading about its collection of agates, quartz, petrified wood (found two possible pieces, but not sure yet) etc, I'm sure my lack of loot is due to me not knowing quite what to look for in a new environment. Had a close flyby by a pair of bald eagles and would love to return to explore the point's little island, when not so concerned about tides and time.
Did enjoy the immense crashing waves on the ocean side of the point, however! We met only a single other beachcomber when we were out, but she said a nice day might pack a few dozen people onto the point. She was picking up very small clear stones she called 'moon stones,' but looked like clear beach-rounded quartz or even tiny chips of glass.
Have any of you had adventures out on the ocean shores/Damon point beaches?
