3/13/19 Report - Farmer Makes Surprising Discovery When The Ground Gives Way. Beach Conditions On the Treasure Coast.

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

Far and Near.

I have two main topics today.  One is about an amazing treasure find, and the other is the condition of some local beaches.

On the left above, you see what a farmer saw after a hole opened up right beside him.  It is a Minoan tomb.

The farmer was parking his truck under some olive trees on his property when the ground beneath him started to give way. After the farmer moved his vehicle to a safer location, he saw that a four-foot-wide hole had opened up in the ground. When he peered inside, he realised this was no ordinary hole...

The tomb was about 13 feet in length and eight feet deep, divided into three chambers that would have been accessed via a vertical tunnel that was sealed with clay after the tomb’s occupants were laid to rest. One larnax was found in the northernmost chamber, with a number of funerary vessels scattered around it...

He just happened to be at the right place at the right time, et viola, there it was.

Here is closer look at it.

I got a chance to take a look at a few local beaches today around noon.

At the top of this post you will see a photo of Fort Pierce South Jetty Park as it looked around noon
Wednesday.

John Brooks Beach Around Noon Wednesday.

John Brooks beach didn't look good at all.  Note the new seaweed on the front of the beach and the old cut behind.

One thing I haven't seen much at all this year is sea shells.  There were more shells here than I've seen all year.  Of course, I could have missed some since I haven't been out much.

It just goes to show how different things appear at different times.  I've written a lot about that in the past.

Frederick Douglass beach looked very similar.

Notice the waves hitting the beach straight on.

Those are the only beaches I visited, so I don't know what happened up in Indian River County and to the north.

It looks like we could have a bigger surf in another week or so.

Here is the MagicSeaWeed surf chart.

We'll see how that works out.

A poll found that 6% of the people questioned thought that socialism had to do with being social.  No wonder it is so popular.

Happy hunting,
