| 14K Gold Bracelet Found On Treasure Coast Find and Photo by Charlie S. |
Conditions haven't been great for finding old things on the beach so far in 2014. November of 2013 was the last really good period. Nonetheless, there are always things to be found.
Here is a nice find by Charlie S, and here is what he said.
I have been reading your blog for a few years now, really enjoy it. I thought you may enjoy this treasure coast gold find from last week.
This is a 14kp (solid 14 Karat Gold) bracelet that was taken just above the surf line on the incoming tide. Unfortunately the incoming water made it a tough recovery and it ended up quite mangled, (or may have already been so, no way to know). This bracelet weighed out at 14.7 grams, which calculated out to $374 in pure gold at spot.
Thanks for sharing Charlie and congratulations on the great find!
One of the interesting things about Florida and resort areas in general is the finds that come from all over the country and world.
This gaming chip has a silver center and was evidently a recent drop in very nice condition.
The face value of the chip is 10 shillings.
The news is talking about under water drones. That sounds new and gets attention, but it looks to me like what they are talking about is nothing much different than the ROVs that we are familiar with. I guess there are some new things about them, but the big difference is in using the word drone.
The Navy is getting into underwater drones in a big way now. The Pentagon is doubling the amount they are spending on drones that will take over a lot of the work previously done by men.
One company is making underwater drones that individuals can purchase for under $1000. They have a video camera and come in a kit form.
Looks like fun, but doesn't look very heavy duty to me. I don't think it would be much good in shallow water where you have currents or a semi-rough surf.
Take a look at the video.

I would think a good submersible video camera that could be attached to a pole, cable or whatever would do just as well. Of course once you see an object you have to have a way to grab onto it, but I think that can be accomplished simply and inexpensively by other means.
I'm not thinking of going down a mile anyhow. That makes things much easier.
The richest man in the world believes in God. That is what one article says. They are talking about Bill Gates.

I think Putin is actually richer than Bill Gates.
On the Treasure Coast the surf is supposed to be up a little tomorrow to something around 3 to 5 feet. That isn't very much but if there was going to be a strong North wind and a good angle to the waves, it might accomplish a little. As it is, the angles don't look all that good.
The predictions do provide a hint of a bigger surf in the near future.
Happy hunting,
