mtbradley	Posted: Sat Jul 19, 2014 2:47 pm     Our crew walked the beach there June 22nd, but didn't get there until about lunch time - maybe a little after. No "action", but we did see two nurse sharks. One was smaller and about 40 feet out cruising up the beach. The other was about 5 feet and resting in the surf about 3 feet from the beach. We got in with it and it was pretty laid back. By the way, Walker, right in the water line (at least per the tide at the time we were there) was a short piece of what looked like metal pipe, near the dead tree trunk you mentioned as a marker above. I joke to my friend that it was an old ship's cannon, but then when we took a closer look, one end did indeed have what looked like the ball (or in this case it was more of a spike) used to leverage a cannon up and down on the carronade. Any idea what this is? Probably nothing, but I thought I'd ask.

One end is rounded, with a flange near the center. It is about 2 or three feet from the water's edge, and maybe 50 yards to the right of the tree trunk. Does this sound like what you saw?

mtbradley	Posted: Tue Jul 22, 2014 2:56 pm     Yep - that's exactly it. The flange is what made it look like an old mortar. The thing is so rusted and encrusted that there was no way I could tell what it was. Thanks for solving that little mystery for me!
