While taking my sunrise walk along the beach in Highland Beach ,Florida  Sunday morning

I discovered this marker on the coral .

 I had not seen it before , I guess because it was covered with sand.

 But this morning a piece of it caught my eye as  the sun was gleaming on a piece of the marker.

 I brushed the sand away from the top of the marker and I was amazed at what I had found.

 In 1929 the U.S. COAST & GEODETIC SURVEY MARKER was put in place to mark the coastline

of the United States.

Good morning Irene - 

Glad you took that morning stroll and had your camera with you!  Very cool and interesting shot.  Debbie and I are still in the high mountains of Colorado.  Our morning hike will be far different than yours.  We are in awe of the beauty Mother Nature boast here.  Have a great day on the beach my friend ......

Hi Tony and Darcy, the coral is hard as a rock. This marker is not going any where.

See the #2 photo that is the coral.

See my next post. I got a FEATURE FROM ACTIVE RAIN.

I can't wait to find something else at the beach.

Have a great day .

So is that a good or bad thing?  On the one hand it could be exposed because of erosion, or it just exposed because you are just lucky.

Hi Kevin, I guess it would be easy to see if it was not covered by sand. But on this day just a tiny

portion of it was peaking out of the sand.

 I don't think erosion plays a part. It is on top of the rock.
