In the past few months, I reported on a couple of caches found in Florida. You can still find caches. I reported on a couple just yesterday. Here is another.
The following excerpts are from article about a stolen safe containing valuables from a robbery that was found in a yard, dug up and returned to the owners.
When trees in their yard were damaged by wildlife they got a better view. "It [the box] was really prominent when the deer ate away all the foliage," Matthew said.
After digging it up they realized it was a rusty old safe. Inside they found wet money, and a lot of jewelry in plastic bags.
"Hundreds, jewelry, diamonds, engagement ring. Dozens of rings, gold with jade. It was stunning," said Matthew.
There was also a piece of paper with an address -- one of their neighbors.
"First, I knocked on the door and I asked them if they were ever robbed and they said they were," Matthew said.
According to the New York Police Department, a burglary was reported at their neighbors' home the day after Christmas in 2011. The only thing taken was the safe. It had a large amount of cash, jewelry and other items inside: a total of $52,000 worth of property, police said...

I want to recommend a web site today: navsource.org. NavSource provide a photographic history of the U. S. Navy. It is run by volunteers who do a fantastic job.
You can find pictures of many of the 20,000 registered U. S. Navy ships. I contributed a few photographs, including the one below.
You might have a few of your own that you want to contribute. Maybe you got some from your father or grandfather.

| Life on the YMS 250 Near Lavorno Italy During WW II. |
The YMS 250 shown above was a wood-hulled minesweeper that crossed both the Atlantic and Pacific. Minesweepers cleared the way for the larger ships.
At the top of the above photo, you see a sunken Italian destroyer. Also notice the dog sleeping at the base of the three-inch gun
You'll find additional information, including how to submit photos, on the web site.

A Garrett Carrot pin-pointer and handmade scoop was left in the sand at the base of the Wabasso boardwalk recently. Dan B. would like it back if anyone found it or knows of its whereabouts. Email DanielB0330@gmail.com.

The disturbance that has been hanging around in the middle of the Atlantic and bringing us southeast winds isn't going anywhere fast. It has increased in strength a little and drifted farther south.
On the Treasure Coast we still have a calm surf, and we're still having some nice low tides.
Happy hunting,
