Did you ever make a find that was not all there? Maybe it was a piece that was broken and part of it was missing, like maybe a piece of a gold chain. Whenever that happens you should carefully look for the rest of it. Maybe it will show up. One time I found a piece of chain and kept looking and found two more pieces of the same gold chain.
It is always a good idea when you find something to come back the following day and check in the same area again.
It isn't the same thing, but I once found a gold ring in a puddle in a parking lot. I looked until I found the stone.
Brian M. had the following to say about Ken A's Irma gold find that I recently posted. Brian said, I thought Ken’s find looked like a loop off the top of a pendant or a cross. I’m sure he is looking for the rest of it.
If you find the missing pieces of a broken item they will usually be found close by in the same area, but here is a story about how a missing piece may have been found miles away.
A small silver fitting has been found during excavations of the Viking fortress “Borgring” in Køge, east Denmark. It resembles one of the three missing parts of a distinctive Gotlandic box brooch previously discovered at the Fyrkat fortress in Hobro, north of Borgring.

The Fyrkat grave was one of Denmark’s richest female graves from the Viking Age, and belonged to a shaman or sorceress who the Vikings would have held in extremely high regard.
If the silver fitting found at Borgring really did originate from the same box brooch it would suggest that the woman had travelled between the castles, which were presumably built by Harold Bluetooth--king of Denmark between 958 and 987 CE...

Ophelia didn't affect us but I recently mentioned how Ophelia uncovered ancient remains on a beach in Ireland. Ophelia also caused something else unusual in Ireland: a waterfall blowing uphill. Here is the link to the viral video.

The surf is decreasing on the Treasure Coast. By Wednesday it will be down to a 1 or 2 foot surf with a southerly swell.
Happy hunting,
