A team of Israeli archaeological researchers identified a Crusader encampment in the area of the Tzipori Springs in Galilee, the first time that a Crusader encampment was found in the field.
Their findings were published this year in the book Settlement and Crusade in the Thirteenth Century.
Pursuing the idea of liberating the holy sites from Muslim rule and encouraged by the Roman Catholic Church, European powers and sometimes peoples initiated several military campaigns in the Middle East between the 11th and 13th centuries, which led to the establishment of a number of Christian states in the area of modern Israel, Lebanon and Syria.

Maybe you were there, or maybe you weren't even detecting yet, but here is an article about a northeaster that produced the kind of day that most treasure hunters only dream of. Many treasure coins were found. Very good read.
Some of those that were there that day are still involved in treasure hunting. I know because I've heard from them.
That article was written by Treasure Coast reporter, Walter Eager, who passed away in 2006 at the age of 92.

Thanks to JamminJack for both the article and picture of Walter.
I had trouble posting the article at an ideal size, but hope it works for you.

You can find information on the legendary Thanksgiving storm of 1984 if you want to read more on that kind of thing.
Here is one link.

As you can see the surf will remain small and there won't be any big changes in beach conditions real soon.
Happy hunting,
