Gold Coins Found in Clay Pot.Photo from the BBC story linked below.
$140,000 worth of gold coins from 1595 to 1798 were discovered in a clay pot in a cellar when the residents were working on their drains.
Here is the link to that story.

A cardboard box holding six pieces of antique Chinese jade was stored in a Florida home's closet for over 30 years. The owners were offered $2,000 but instead had it auctioned. The censer, used to burn incense, auctioned for $18,000, a jade teapot for $12,420, a ram for $6,210, and a white jade ship for $57,500. Chinese buyers paid almost $100,000 for the family treasures.

A skull uncovered by recent erosion was originally found by archaeologists, repatriated to a tribe, reburied,and then surfaced again.

I have another topic but don't have time to get to it today. I'll have to keep it short today. I'll talk about probes some other time.
Treasure Coast Beach Forecast and Conditions.
I'll drop my beach conditions rating back to a 1 today. There is still some chance of picking up a cob or two that got dragged down when there was some erosion a couple of days ago.
The wind is from the northwest this morning, but there isn't much wind. The seas are down around two feet.
You might check the low tide zones for anything that might have been stirred up recently.
It looks like there won't be any improvement in conditions for a few days.
Happy hunting.
