Ancient Gold Necklace Found

It is easy to miss good clues. You can miss them in the field, and you can miss them when you are reading.

I often post links to articles that contain good clues. They tell you something more than somebody  found some object.

This article about the ancient gold necklace provides some clues.  Here is a little of the text.

The gold necklace was made in one of the elite ateliers in ancient Rome, according to a report by Bulgarian National Television. Researchers suggest that the necklace was lost in the panic when the violent earthquake destroyed the city.

A lot of valuables are lost during disasters. That is obvious enough. 
The article also mentions panic. Behavior is important. You can evaluate beaches by the behaviior of the people who visit the beach. Lively crowds tend to lose a lot more than sedentary older crowds. Glitzy party beaches where young wealthy drunk patrons carelessly cavort are good beaches for finding good things. I've mentioned some of the sociological factors before, including some that I won't repeat now.
It doesn't take an earthquake. Even a sudden downpour will make people lose things as they hurry to gather their belongings. A beach towel can be grabbed and everything on it goes flying.

I didn't want to get into all of that except to point out how articles like this one can provide some good clues and reminders.

Here is the link for he rest of the article.

I'm watching Irma very closely.  The MagicSeaWeed web site predicts up to a ten foot surf for the Treasure Coast around the eight or ninth of the month.

I looked at two different web sites, both of which are listed in my Wind, Surf, Waves links.  One of those sites shows Irma passing to the East of us and providing north winds on the eighth of September, and the other has Irma a little farther to the east, but getting closest to us on the tenth.


Predicted September 8.

Predicted September 10.

The Ventusky prediction has Irma moving faster and arriving sooner, but staying a bit farther east.

The Windyty prediction has Irma arriving a couple days later, but the center is closer to Florida.

Of course there is a lot of uncertainty yet and we don't really know what will happen yet.

I'm hoping that we just get the higher surf without all the wind.

Keep watching.

Happy hunting,
