As the new year approaches, it is common to take a look back. It can be good to take stock to see where you are at and what you might want to improve.
The number 1 most-read 2018 post concerned the issue of beach access. It gave a list of Florida congress people to contact regarding proposed legislation that was said to threaten beach access in Florida.
Posts about the Curse of Oak Island TV show were always popular. At least they got a lot of hits.
One regular reader wrote and said the most amazing thing about the Oak Island show is that real treasure hunters admit watching it.
It is a popular TV show, and, as I said, the posts about the show get a lot of hits. I don't know if those hits are by the regular readers of this blog or not. I suppose those posts pick up people that Googled the TV show and found the link to this blog.
I watch the show occasionally when I run across it and sometimes turn it off, but I've also been known to watch the Three Stooges too.
The readers of this blog are discerning. After the "crossbow bolt" was found, I immediately got emails saying it was likely something else. I had the feeling it could be something else too, and showed examples that were unlike the one shown on the program, but I hadn't done enough research to proclaim what it was or wasn't. Many of my readers are sharper than the "experts" on the show.
For me, the show provides a lot of examples. Many of the examples are negative, such as the unfocused search strategies and wild and unsupported interpretation of finds. You can think about, discuss and learn from such things even if they are scripted, setup or totally fake. Having graduate degrees in the field of psychology and having done research in the field, I'm always interested in the psychodynamics too. What the participants are doing, how they approach things and how people react to them.
In any case, like I said, no matter how good or fake the program is, people watch it and discuss it, and possibly even learn something as a result.

The oldest man in the United States and oldest veteran of World War II dies at 112. He credited God, whiskey and cigars for his longevity.

The peak surf is over. The wind is now from the south. As you can see the surf will be decreasing for a few days.
I took a little walk and picked up a vintage painted-label Hires Root Beer bottle. Didn't see much else.
Happy hunting,
