| Seminole Silver Objects. Photo submitted by Darrel S. |
I started a conversation one day not too long ago about Seminole silver. It is something that might be found metal detecting in Florida. You should therefore know what it looks like. Thanks to Darrel Strickland, who visited the museum in Gainesville, I'm going to post some images of Seminole silver objects.
Above you will see a set of what appears to be pendants. They are made from silver pounded flat and then cut out. A simple hole is made for attachment.
Below is an image of more Seminole silver objects, including pendants bracelets and rings.

I enjoyed browsing the Mining and Scientific Press issues for the years 1899 and 1900. There is a lot of interest, The range of topics is very broad. You'll find everything having to do with mining. The pictures and history are interesting too.
Below is one illustration from one of those issues. I think maybe I've been on those rails. The Durango to Silverton line goes through an area that looks very much like that. That is a ride I would recommend to anyone.

This one shows hydraulic mining in Dahlonega Georgia.
It is a online as a free ebook in books.google.com/books. I could spend months looking through that one.

Some of the most fantastic 1715 Fleet finds are religious artifacts. Here is a web site that explains the spiritual reason chalices are made of gold.

Tropical Storm Cindy is inland now and dropping rain on Louisiana and other states to the west of us. There is no other storms on the Atlantic map at this time.
The surf is still small, but we are having some nice tides now.
Happy hunting,
