Joe, When I posted that, I was merely suggesting that the waves would agitate the ocean floor and bring in a new layer of materaial that wouldn't have been there otherwise. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't see anything cold about that, nor should you feel embarrassed by it.
Having said all that, I know if I lived close to the west coast and owned a beach box, I'd be looking for a clear spot to start diggin'. Last time I looked, gold was still hovering around $1400.
