Here is a video/animation of a big submersible dredge pump.  Seems like it could be useful.  That is the type of thing that makes me start thinking how I might use it.

I think they are digging new renourishment material for the Fort Pierce beach just north of the Fort Pierce docks.

The United Nations General Assembly designated January 27—the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau—as International Holocaust Remembrance Day.  

I'll have more on that before the 27th.  My wife traced the history of one of her ancestors that died in a German concentration camp.  The United States Holocaust Museum, located in Washington, DC, on the National Mall, just south of Independence Avenue, SW, between 14th Street and Raoul Wallenberg Place (15th Street), helped with that.

What did thirsty Greeks drink in the Bronze Age?  It appears that not much has changed.  It looks like some of them drank beer.

Pieces of wine and beer bottles were among objects found by the excavation team with bits of fine 18th Century porcelain, buttons and a butchered sheep shin bone also discovered...

Thirty coins were also found at the Wilkhouse site, including a French Louis XIII Double Tournois which dates from between 1610-1643. These finds suggest the site was used as a stopping place by travellers long before the inn was built, Dr Lindsay said...

Did you know that  beer of various styles has been brewed in Scotland since prehistoric times, but Scottish or Scotch ale as a style of beer originated in the 18th century in Edinburgh.

What I learned from the media this week is that counties that oppress their populations and keep them in desperate poverty should be admired and described in glowing terms while the United States government should be described in the most derogatory terms.  Huh?


Her e is another way to look at something.  Why should the United States be allowed to continue to take so many of the fine hard working immigrants from the poorest nations that need them so desperately?  How will the poor countries ever thrive as long as the U. S. continues to take their most aspiring people?

I got tired of talking about the skill factors for metal detecting success for a while.  Just felt like taking a short break from that but will get back to it before long.  I intend to refine my success formula.  That means giving all the factors weights based upon importance.

Here are the MagicSeaWeed surf predictions for next week for the Fort Pierce area.

They dropped the maxmum surf by about a foot.  I hope that doesn't continue through the week.

Happy hunting,
