| Vatican Coin Recently Found at Juan Ponce de Leon Beach Sunday by Marti T. |
Marti T. found the above Vatican Coin Sunday at Juan Ponce de Leon Beach. Here is what Marti said about that.
Thought you might enjoy seeing this silver Vatican coin I found yesterday. It was halfway between the surf and the high tide line, along with a fairly obvious line of other heavy targets (fishing weights). It rang up a solid 30 on my Nox 600 and was about 6" deep. The other heavy targets were about the same. I was seeing original beach 2-4" below the top sand. Pretty cool experience and I wanted to share it with you.

In years past I got several questions from people who found lumps of whatever and wondered if it might be a meteorite. There are a few readers from other areas of the country who do hunt meteorites and know a lot about them. In any case, I thought the following Guide to Meterorites might be interesting.
It gives the basics for determining value, basics about the three types, and provides some good photos.

Talking about space, last night the sky was clear and the Treasure Coast was treated to a great view of the Spacex launch. You could see the booster detach and return to the pad. Here is a view do the booster separating, and you could clearly see that with the unaided eye.
