René Schön and his student Luca Malaschnitschenko were looking for treasure using metal detectors in January on northern Rügen island when they chanced upon what they initially thought was a worthless piece of aluminium.
But upon closer inspection, they realised that it was a piece of silver, German media reported.
Over the weekend, the regional archaeology service began a dig covering 400 sq metres (4,300 sq ft). It has found a hoard believed to be linked to the Danish king Harald Gormsson, better known as “Harry Bluetooth”, who reigned from around AD958 to 986...
Here are two links for more about that.

Another good archaeological find made by a young detectorist.

Here is what FlaglerLive had to say about the beach access bill signed by Governor Rick Scott and how Flagler County is responding.
Your free access to many beaches in Flagler County is not so free anymore. A new law that easily passed both of Florida’s legislative chambers and that Gov. Rick Scott signed in March bars local governments from unilaterally enacting ordinances that protect the public’s “customary” use of beaches in front of private property.
Starting July 1, governments that want to adopt such ordinances much go through a laborious process and essentially have a legal action involving every beach-front private property owner, proving to a judge that the public has customarily used every one of those parts of the beach for a long time...

If you've been trying to figure out what the bill will or won't do from the articles that appear in the press, this on might help clarify a few things.
Thanks to Brian B. for that link.

A lot of people check their change for older coins, but it might also be a good idea to check your paper money as well.
I cashed a check the other day and got a couple fifty dollar bills, and they turned out to be older bills. They were 1990 series, which doesn't seem old for coins, but it can make a difference in paper money.

| 1990 Series Fifty Dollar Bill. |
The first thing that stuck out to me and told me these bills were older is the small 50 within the circle. There are other differences, of course.
A couple things to look for are low serial numbers, and star bills. Star bills are sold for a more. The last letter in the serial number would be a star rather than the "B" you see above.
As with all collectibles, condition matters.

We are having a small surf and some good low tides.
Expect the surf to increase a bit Thursday.
Happy hunting,
