8/20/21 Report - Intact 1715 Fleet Kangxi. Beach Found Coin Hoard. N. C. Beaches Looking Good for Weekend.

Written by the Treasureguide for the exclusive use of the Treasure Beaches Report.

Ancient coins dating to 1,700 years ago were discovered by a family during a camping trip on an Israeli beach near Atlit on Tuesday.
Yotam Dahan, a tour guide from Klil in northern Israel, found a bundle of antique coins during a family camping trip in Habonim beach.

Kang Hsi or Kangxi (there are various anglicized spellings), porcelain was carried on the 1715 Fleet.  I've written about that before.  The beach searcher might be lucky enough to find a shard, but whole pieces have been found.  

One detectorist, spotted a stack of plates or cups in a cut down by Blind Creek one day years ao, but didn't pay any attention to it, thinking that it was just common stuff from someone's picnic or something.  When he learned that it could be very valuable, he went back, but couldn't find it again.

A single intact cup can be worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars.  Shards are often sold or made into jewelry.

NOTE: I originally posted some photos of a Kangxi cup that were sent to me by one reader, but I found out they were featured on another web site, so I removed those photos.

Here is one post that provides some of that information.

Today's increased surf will be short-lived this morning - just two or three hours then decreasing again.  It will also be just before low tide, which won't be any help.  The good thing is that it looks like we'll get another increase in a week or so.

Looks like North Carolina will be the place to be on the beach this weekend.

I'm extremely saddened by the Americans and other desperate people left behind in Afghanistan at the mercy of the Taliban (Atifa East).  The chaos at the border caused enough suffering, but now this.  The Build Back American to the Middle Ages strategy proceeds as we destroy the trust of our long time friends and allies.   Pray for the people and pray for America.
