Tool - Possibly Paleo.

4/4/20 correction: I originally described the above item as an archaic point, but JamminJack tells me it is close to six inches long so could be an axe or something else and may be paleo. Also, it was found by Jack's buddy.
Some people have been doing other kinds of hunting since the beaches have been closed. I received the following message from JamminJack.
I have been getting back into arrowhead hunting. The field was plowed last week, and was able to find two bags of flint and two archaic period points during one day visit.

Today my buddy was already out and found the scraper (not shown) just as he was going back to his car. The scraper is close to 5 inches.

I found the ceramic crockpot piece and small bottle. Bottle about 2 inches...
Good signs for metal detecting too. This is obviously a site that was populated or visited by different groups for quite a while.
I know I have that exact same bottle somewhere.

Underwater archaeologists have returned 52 pre-Hispanic ritual objects to the place where they were found: the bed of one of the two crater lakes of the Nevado de Toluca volcano.
Members of the underwater archaeology team at the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) deposited the mostly spherical and conical resin objects on the bed of the Lake of the Moon earlier this month.
The objects, believed to have been made by the Matlatzinca people between the 13th and 15th centuries and placed in the lake by pre-Hispanic priests, are stored in a specially-made container that allows water and sediment to flow over them. As a result, they are protected from deterioration.
The trove of objects is the first in situ underwater archaeological archive in Mexico, according to an INAH statement. The decision to preserve the objects in their place of origin complies with recommendations in the 2001 UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage...

While removing the floor of the church in Obišovce near Košice, the foundations of the old church were uncovered. After this discovery, the archaeological company Triglav conducted research that took place at the beginning of February 2020, the Regional Monuments Board Košice reported.
During this work, the archaeologists discovered a unique treasure trove of coins, kept in a ceramic mug and covered with a small stone slab, under the original stone floor close to the western entrance of the church.
The hoard consists of more than 500 coins, most of them mining salary plates. The silver coins were wrapped separately, probably in linen clothing. The coins date the treasure to 1702 at the earliest...

Even when they don't yet see it, treasure hunter's know there is something good out there to be found. Treasure hunter's by nature must be optimistic. Not only do they believe that there is something good out there to be found, they also believe that it can be found, and they can do it.
You might have misinterpreted something I said. It happens, but I never meant to imply that we should not take the threat seriously or that any individual should not be responsible in every action. It is just the opposite.
I believe that men are not only created with inalienable rights, but they are also created with minds capable of finding wonderful solutions. Humans are creative. That is how they have survived and thrived.
Yes there is evil - great evil, but eventually, through great vision, effort and hardship, mankind generally wins. Innovators do not blindly accept authority.
You might call me an optimist. I am a treasure hunter in some small way, although my seeking is not always limited to objects. Sometimes my seeking is in the stars, or in the thought-ways of the mind. I like astronomy, and I like thinking.
Some may think we will fail. I think there is a better way. I believe that there are ingenious solutions waiting to be found. I believe in tirelessly seeking those solutions and, remaining open to alternatives ideas, always believing that we can do it, and knowing that we have not only survived in the past, but also improved.
I encourage striving and seeking the smarter and better way. Thinking is the ultimate weapon. We can not simply accept fear, sloth, inertia and blind dependence, but must always seek the better solution - the better way.
I seldom believe that what I am told or where I am is the end of the matter. I tend to believe that there is usually another and better way to be found, and I believe that it can be found, but only if we believe and strive.

The Treasure Coast surf predictions have changed a little. Now Sunday should see something like a 4 - 6 foot surf and Sunday, a 5 - 7 foot surf. That isn't quite as much as was predicted a few days ago.
Happy hunting,
