Part of Master Map for 1915 Fort Pierce.


I found a very good website where you can find old maps.  The one above is a 1915 Fort Pierce map.  Below is a closer view of part of one of the sections.

This section shows The Crystal Theatre, which is where the Sunrise Theatre is today.  Notice also the old Fort Pierce Hotel.

What does 1915 Ten Dollar Gold sound like on an Ace 250?  Here is the answer.


I know you can't see the coin with the glare, but it is on the napkin.

It sounds like a coin, but how does the ID meter read since the meter does not have a Ten Dollar Coin reading?  It rang up as between a penny and dime, which is the lower level of the coin range on the meter.

By the way, I think you can see a Walking Liberty half off to the side in the video.  It was correctly identified as a 50 cent piece by the inexpensive detector.

A German submarine from World War II-- rumored to have been used to transport Nazi leadership to South America following the war-- has been located nearly 73 years after being lost at sea.


Denmark’s Sea War Museum discovered the U-3523 roughly 403 feet below sea level. The submarine was found off the coast in Denmark’s northernmost town of Skagen, nine miles west of where it was reportedly sunk by Britain, according to the paper.


The front of the vessel was buried in the sand and the stern jutted out, according to a report by The Sun published on Tuesday.

The depth of the sub’s final resting place, however, makes it difficult for researchers to reach.
Gert Normann Andersen, the museum’s director, told the paper that the discovery dispels rumors of a potential escape that stemmed from the failure to locate the vessel after it was sunk by a British B24 Liberator attack on May 6, 1945..

We'll have a day or two of smooth surf before an increase comes.  

I'm always happy with both.  The smooth water is good for hunting in shallow water, and the rougher surf is good for shifting things around a bit.  

Happy hunting,
