Stacked against the wall at the head of the beach amongst litter and debris was a very fine sand. When I dug the collecting tube into the sand it came up loaded with mica crystals!

This was something I hadn't seen before. There was a definite boundary where the fine ended, and the coarse began. This sample came from that line.

FINE GRAINED SAND WITH CAPE MAY DIAMONDS
The sand on either side of the boundary line was fine grained. Mixed in with the fine sand were "Cape May Diamonds!"

Finally at the water's edge the sand turns to almost pure black. I have no idea what the little disk is. It could be natural, it could be something dropped by a person. It is a perfect circle. It has the consistency of wax. Material is embedded in it.
