10/28/18 Report - Valuable Paper Money in Circulation. Watch For Cleaned Coins. Erosion in North Florida. Old Ship Found.

Written by the TreasureGuide for the exclusive use of treasurebeachesreport.blogspot.com.

Dug Corroded Partly Cleaned Penny.

I just cleaned a load of old corroded coins.  I tried a new experimental procedure that didn't work out real well.  I wouldn't recommend the process, but I sort of like the look of the coins.

You can often tell when you get somebody's dug coins in change.  I'm going to put a number of these in circulation, and am showing you with the hope that you'll tell me if you get one.  I know I'll recognize them if I get them back.  They all are banged up and corroded, having spent time in the surf.  They have a dark background scuffed bright high design features.

Erosion in St. Augustine Area

Photo by Bruce B.

Bruce B. said the beaches in the St. Augustine area are losing a lot of sand and provided the photo above.

There is always some place to detect.  Some spots are better than others.  If you look around enough you can usually find a decent spot.

There is a tropical storm in the Atlantic: Oscar.  Below is Oscar's predicted track.

Oscar will, however affect us to some extent.

You can see the north wind that we'll get Wednesday, when the Treasure Coast surf will increase.

I've been enjoying checking the serial numbers of the paper money that I receive in change.  It is possible to receive a bill worth hundreds of dollars.  Many are worth less than that but more than the face value.

It is an entertaining activity with the possibility of profit something like playing the lottery but without the cost.  All you have to do is check.

Here are a couple web sites that describe serial numbers that might be worth something.

This one will give you some idea of the value of bills with various serial numbers.

A centuries-old ship was found by archaeologists.

The finds include parts of a merchant vessel, a cog, dating back to the 13th century, as well as some imported German and Danish ceramics, possibly brought to Sweden on the same ship.

Here is the link for the articles and photos.

The weather is beautiful.  Just judging from the northeast wind that I see outside, I think you might be able to find some small cuts.

Happy hunting,
