It has started!  "It" is the Great American Coin Hunt.

On April 21, hundreds of dealers and collectors will be seeding America’s pocket change with millions of vintage coins from the 1800s, including Indian and Lincoln “wheat” cents from 1859-1958, Indian Head and Liberty Head nickels from 1883-1938, silver dimes from the 19th and first half of the 20th century, silver quarters, half dollars, and Ike dollars. The group will also distribute vintage one, two, five, and ten dollar notes. Rob Oberth plans to make one lucky person’s day by spending a gold coin. Other dealers throughout the country will mark the event in their own unique ways.

The United States Mint learned about Oberth’s plan to infuse collectible coins in pocket change last year and worked to create its own chase coin for circulation. As a result, on April 1, the Mint mixed into circulation two million quarter dollars bearing the W mintmark of the West Point Mint...

I had pretty much given up on the Oak Island TV show, but last night when switching through the channels, I saw that the producer added a new expert to the show to drum up some drama and attention - a parapsychologist.  I thought we were going to hear the voice of a deceased Templar Knight, but they didn't go that far, even though the producer did try to make something out of a totally ambiguous bit of recorded noise, and another clang that the Lagina's dismissed.

If you have any ideas on either of the objects, let me know.

The surf will be 2 - 3 feet tomorrow but a foot or so higher the next day when the wind will be from the south.

Enjoy the cookout.

Happy hunting,
