| Rough New Gold Band Find. |
This band is really rough, as I think you can see. It was partly encrusted before cleaning. Looks like it has taken a beating. No markings on the inside at all.

A century after World War I ended, discarded munitions from that and other wars continue to make their way onto beaches around the country.
Items ranging from tiny fuses to full-scale mines are displaced by beach replenishment projects, sucked from the ocean floor and pumped ashore, or by strong storms that uncover them.
The most recent discovery came earlier this month when seven WWI rifle grenades were found on the beach in Mantoloking, New Jersey, which is undergoing a beach replenishment project to undo damage from Superstorm Sandy more than five years ago...

About 13,000 years ago, two shoeless adults and a child squished their bare feet through wet clay near the water's edge, leaving footprints that still exist today.
The footprints, recently unearthed by anthropologists on an island in British Columbia, Canada, are the oldest known human track marks in North America, according to a new study, and provide more evidence that humans were thriving on the Pacific Coast of Canada at the end of the last ice age, said study lead researcher Duncan McLaren, an anthropologist at the Hakai Institute and the University of Victoria, in Canada....

It amazes me that Facebook, which started as a blatantly sexist application used by judge women's physical characteristics and is run by a bunch in California who you'd think would be not only opposed to such blatant sexism and stereotypical behavior, but who would also stand for the individual's rights, yet that is not the case when they can make a profit off of it. One big bundle of hypocrisy!

It looks like the increase in surf that was expected for the end of the week will be very modest, only reaching 2 - 4 feet.

Nearly 10,000 Native American artifacts — a rectangular ceramic vessel, tool fragments, arrowheads, and other projectile points — have been discovered at two archaeological excavation sites in Camden.
Along with the hearthstones, animal bones, and remains of plants likely used for food, medicine, and fuel found during the excavations, the materials may shed light on the lives of indigenous people who camped along the Delaware River as early as 4,000 years ago...
