1/27/22 Report - Ancient Shipwreck Treasures. Silver Shekel Temple Coin. Treasure Coast Metal Detector Interference.

The Marine Archaeology Unit of the Israel Antiquities Authority discovered ancient treasures from two shipwrecks off the coast of Caesarea in Israel. According to Jacob Sharvit and Dror Planer of the Israel Antiquities Authority’s Marine Archaeology Unit, “The ships were probably anchored nearby and were wrecked by a storm.”

The artifacts included a special gold ring engraved with the figure of the Good Shepherd. The theme of the Good Shepherd is throughout the Bible, in the Old Testament, Isaiah 40:11 says “He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart.” The image is also one of the earliest and oldest images used in Christianity for symbolizing Jesus as humanity’s compassionate shepherd. Jesus even called himself a shepherd, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” John 10:11...

The underwater remains also included rare personal effects of the shipwreck victims. Among them was a beautiful red gemstone with a carving of a lyre. The lyre in Jewish tradition is called Kinor David (‘David’s harp.) According to 1 Samuel 16:23, King David played his harp for Saul,“ Whenever the spirit from God came on Saul, David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him.”...

JERUSALEM, Israel – An 11-year-old girl in Israel has discovered a silver shekel coin that archaeologists say may have been minted by a priest on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem 2,000 years ago...

Experts say the coin was used for trade in Jerusalem 2,000 years ago before the Romans destroyed the temple. It was found in dirt taken from archaeological excavations on the ancient “Pilgrimage Road” in the City of David. Jesus and other Jewish pilgrims would have walked that road to get to the temple.

"This street, which connected the Siloam Pool in the south of the City of David to the Temple Mount in the north, was Jerusalem's main street during the Second Temple period, where thousands of pilgrims marched on their way to the Temple. There is no doubt that there would have been extensive trading here. This is evidenced by the many weights and bronze coins we have found here. But to find a rebel coin made of pure silver is definitely very special and exciting,” said archaeologist Ari Levy, Director of the Excavation on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority...

Brings to mind a couple Bible verses.

If you detect the Treasure Coast, you probably have discovered that there are some areas where you encounter a lot of electrical interference.  JamminJack sent me a note about that, and I made a list of some of those areas.  I'm sure the list isn't complete, and you might want to add some, but here is a start.

There are 2 such areas south of the Turtle Trail access.  The second is down almost to the second flagpole.  
1 south of the Rio Mar access.
1 at Pepper Park
1 just south of Fort Pierce South Jetty.

I don't know what causes these areas of interference.  Various theories have been discussed. The interference at Pepper Park seems to me to be more intermittant than the others, and I think it might be coming from radio communications from the fire station on the other side of the road.

One person said he thinks the interference areas are caused by transatlantic cables, but I don't think that explains most of them, since if you move away far enough to the north, south or east, you will get out of the interference.  It would seem to me that if it was from a cable, moving east wouldn't get you away from it.

Some people think it comes from radio communications (maybe ham or cb). 

The interference at South Jetty seems to come from the hotel or bar building area.
.
At Turtle Trail and Rio Mar, the interference seems to come from beach-side houses.

If you have other examples, I'll add them to my list.

I know that I've been asked by other detectorists on the beach about the interference at some of those areas.  I'm sure that some detectors are more affected than others, and changing operating frequencies might mitigate the effects.

Elites discovered that elites trust elites around the world more these days, while the deploarables trust them less.   If you thought talk of the world elite wanting to reset and control the world was bahooey, you can see what they were talking about at the World Economic Forum.

World Economic Forum: "The good news is the elite across the world trust each other more and more... the bad news is that the majority of people trusted their elite less..." : Wallstreetsilver (reddit.com)

There is more and more division between people of different economic levels.  Some think they are qualified to decide for everybody.  Recent events have only created greater division, and if it is not intentional, the elites are not nearly as smart as they think they are.

It looks like we'll have some, what I'd call, moderate surf.  Better than one to two feet, but not generally enough to move a lot of sand, especially without any big high tides.  You'll see a little front beach movement back and forth.

Happy hunting,
