Odd Eisenhower Dollar
Find and Photo by Jerry P.
|
A couple days ago I showed a clad quarter with a hole in it that I found. That reminded Jerry P. of this odd find he once made in Melborne. Any ideas on why it would be punched or drilled like that?

Fossil Find by Dustin L.
Photo by Dusin.

Dustin L. recently found this fossil bone and wondered what it might be from. I'm not good at identifying fossil bones, but it looks to me like it might have been split to obtain the marrow. Obviously it is from a rather large animal.

These trade beads are lot 1441 in the current Sedwick Auction. You can learn a lot by browsing the Sedwick Auctions. The lot description shown below tells you about a US trading post destroyed by the Seminoles, for example.
Necklace made of hundreds of tiny glass trade beads in many colors, recovered from the site of the US trading post on the Caloosahatchee River near Ft. Meyers, Florida, that was massacred and destroyed by Seminole Indians led by Chief Holatamico (better known as Billy Bowlegs). 8 grams, 26" long. A long string of tiny, plain beads in many different colors (mostly orange, red and yellow), often referred to as "Harney Massacre" beads in reference to Lieutenant Colonel William S. Harney, who was manning the site when the Seminoles attacked. Housed in a Riker box with printed history and with photo-certificate.
A few days ago I posted a photo of an alligator across from the old mound by Fort Pierce. Many trade beads have been found in that area. Many of them were found on private property.

The only thing on the National Hurricane Center map right now is Melissa, which is a tropical storm headed out to sea.
On the Treasure Coast we are having some high surf. I'll try to check it out before long.
