| 1615 Bible Stolen and Recovered. |
It would have been easy for anyone to walk out of the library with an antique book worth tens of thousands of dollars and never return. If they were to be charged with late fees, they could have probably paid a ridiculously low fee for "losing" such a rare book. I was amazed that such books were on the shelves and that they didn't disappear.
The Bible above was part of the $8 million dollars of books stolen by one group, including an library archivist so I guess that some of those old books did disappear. The stolen Bible shown above, and printed a hundred years before the wrecking of the 1715 Fleet was recovered in the Netherlands.
I noticed a rare collection of valuable books at one local library that was going to get rid of the entire collection of valuable books for essentially nothing. I told one librarian what they were worth and that they should be saved. Several of the books were worth hundreds, and a few, thousands of dollars.
Here is the link for more about the stolen and returned Bible.

Hurricane Michael uprooted trees in north Florida and revealed artifacts from 'Negro Fort' where 270 escaped slaves died.
Here is the link for more of that story.

I always like to check in the roots and in the hole created by uprooted trees.

Here is a great video and discussion of some of the earliest ancient coins ever created. It is very educational.

I once created a video while I walked along a good shell line and picked up a sea glass and fossils that I saw. It wasn't a very good video. It was my first attempt at doing something like that and every time I bent down to pick up a piece of sea glass the camera didn't catch a good picture of the item I picked up. If you wanted to get a real good look at the find, you could stop the video and get s somewhat better look at it.
Yesterday I got notice of a comment on the video. The comment was, "Horrible video." I wouldn't argue with that. My reply to the comment was, "Thanks. Great comment."
Another person had commented on the video a long time ago, and said that I was being intentionally evasive and I "wasn't fooling anybody." I think I fooled him, but not intentionally.
I don't know what those people were looking for, but I suspect the second person wanted to gain something from the video that he failed to get from it. He was evidently unhappy about that. People reveal a lot about themselves from their comments.
Those are the only two comments that the video received over maybe a year or so. The video did get a lot of "thumbs up," and almost as many "thumbs down." Some people evidently got something out of the video, and some people didn't.
Rightly or wrongly, I expect treasure hunters to be able to take advantage of small signs, and anything that might be provide a hint or clue. I don't think a treasure hunter of any type should expect somebody to tell them exactly where to go and where to dig. That would not be treasure "hunting."
Happy hunting,
