A Nazi-era hoard of gold apparently hidden during the last days of World War 2 was discovered under a tree.
... The metal detectorist made the astounding discovery under a tree near Luxembourg inside an envelope embossed with the Nazi swastika and eagle, bearing the word "Reichsbank". Experts said the markings suggest the coins were stolen from Germany’s wartime bank and may have been an inside job, as chaos reigned in the final days of the Third Reich. Florian Bautsch found 10 coins near the northern town of Lueneburg and professionals then excavated another 207, believing they were from French, Belgian, Italian and Austro-Hungarian origin...
Most of the coins were minted between 1850 and 1910, with the oldest coin dating to 1831.
Chemical analysis showed the coins were most likely packaged between 1940 and 1950.
The 31-year-old said: “I knew I had found something significant when the detector began going mad in my hand.
Dr Pahlow said the coins, which are in “excellent condition” were worth between €190 (£132) and €210 (£146) each, making the collection worth around €45,000 (£31,335).,,

I started to talk about coin lines or coin bands yesterday. As I said then, most people are aware of coin lines to some extent now, but there is much more to it than the fact that items of similar nature often get distributed in a line or band. Besides the length and width of the line or band, the pattern will have a specific depth and density, but it will also have a source, history and direction.
The line or band, will have a source or multiple sources. The source is where the targets were originally dropped or deposited on the beach. From the source they will have been moved in a net direction. I say "net" direction because the movement is almost never continuous and in one direction, but there is a net effect. The movement of the objects will occur at irregular intervals, sometimes consisting of hours, days, or years, and even during short periods of time (minutes) will move in a very sporadic irregular and multidirectional way.
The movement of an object will occur when the water is acting on the object directly or indirectly. In between will be long pauses during which time the object can be either within range of a metal detector or not.
Of course we all hope to be there when a lot of good objects are within metal detector range. That period of time can be long, but it is usually relatively short.
The longer objects are on the beach, the more likely it is that they have settled in a catch area (assuming, of course, they are the types of objects we most often seek like coins or gold). They can on occasion be moved from that catch area, but the more secure, or can I call it "sticky", the catch area is, the less likely it is that they will be removed from it. Ignoring for the moment the many movements that occur over time an object is on a beach, the most general tendency is for such objects is to seek a secure resting place. The longer they have been on the beach, the more likely it is that they have gathered in a very sticky resting place with friends of their own kind.
Those targets that end up in a line were either not yet in a very secure resting place or were at some point removed from a more secure resting place during an event of infrequent strength and occurance.
I haven't even started to talk about how to read a coin line yet.

Thatu one system is still moving very much like Marco. Hopefully it will die over the Yucatan instead of going up through the Gulf towards Louisiana.y
Africa keeps shooting waves out into the Atlantic. We're just sitting here like the headpin on a bowling alley. So far we haven't been hit this season.
The Treasure Coast will have a very smooth surf this week.
Happy hunting,

“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”
Remnants. Things that have survived. That is what we treasure. That is what we keep.
A bullet comes through a window and snuffs out the life of a young child. A storm destroys a home and scatters every souvenir and memory that made it home. A self-sufficient 95-year-old that thrived independently for all those years suddenly loses memory, speech and the ability to care for herself because of a sudden stroke. A life-long lover and companion suddenly becomes a widow.
Instead of sympathy and compassion for the human condition, hate spewing mobs in the dark of night act like like jackals preying on the most vulnerable victims they can find. Nothing is too low for them. Isolate, frighten, and then when they are down, a good kick or brick in the back of the head will serve when a bullet seems too compassionate. They think it displays strength, but it only displays the depravity of their soul. They think it is their victory, but it is their defeat.
2 Corinthians 4:8-9 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
