Here is a really nice artifact found by Darrel S. years ago. He said, I have found some late 18th century items. I found the part to an octant south of Turtle Trail. Image (bottom) is from Sedwick's auction for reference. |
| Wind Prediction for Early Sunday Afternoon According to wyndyty.com. |
The biggest news for me is Invest 99L, a low pressure area, coming our way. I ran the wyndyty.com prediction out to Sunday, and from that it appears that the storm could develop and come in around the Miami area, as shown above.
Notice that according to this prediction, the system has a nice tight center by Sunday afternoon. Also notice that the strongest winds are to the northeast.
If this is what happens, we won't get very much wind from the north or northeast. After it passes we'll be getting a lot of South winds.

Of course, this is just a prediction and things could change significantly.
Above you can see where things stand at the Thursday 8 AM update. At this point, there is still just a 50 percent chance of the low pressure area becoming a cyclone in the next 48 hours.

That is the kind of item that an inexperienced detectorist might find and discard as being of no value. As I often say, if you don't know what an object is, hold onto it until you are very confident that you know what you have. .
Very nice find Darrel! Thanks for sharing.

Recently I showed a chisel that was found on the Treasure Coast. The J.B. Magruder recently found an iron chisel along with some other items on the Atocha site. The Magruder will be moving down to the Atocha Main Pile to look for emeralds.
The Dare continues to explore targets identified by Dolores an the EM metal detection system. They might move North to the Lost Merchant site.
The Fishers are adding Captain Dan Porter and his Sea Reaper to their Key West salvage operations.
