| Remains of 3000-Year-Old Canoe Discovered. |
Madison, WI – Wisconsin Historical Society maritime archaeologists, alongside partners from Wisconsin’s Native Nations, recovered a 3,000-year-old dugout canoe from Lake Mendota in Madison today, less than one year after their recovery of a 1,200-year-old canoe that drew international attention in November 2021. Radiocarbon dating performed on the latest canoe places it to 1000 B.C., making it the oldest ever discovered in the Great Lakes region by roughly 1,000 years...

Thousands of items, including the unexplained 1853 coin from Chile shown above, were found at a archaeological dig at a construction site in New Zealand.
The finds are the latest to be discovered beneath rebuild sites in central Christchurch. In March, hundreds of leather shoes, an ornate clay pipe and intact gin bottles were discovered beneath the site of the new Court Theatre.
The treasure trove uncovered beneath a layer of gravel on the corner of Gloucester and Colombo streets included metal belt buckles, soda water bottles, marbles, grocery store tokens, and shards of decorative plates...

Recent predictions seem to show Ian as a major hurricane moving up along the West Coast of Florida, and then moving inland. It seems like it will strongly affect some very populated areas, like Tampa and St. Petersburg.
The latest NHC cone comes closer to the Treasure Coast. Ian might come closer to us than previously predicted, and we might actually get some east winds for a while. It looks like it might linger over land just to the north of us for a while. The Icon model puts it a little more south than the NHC track.
Current predictions do not show the Treasure Coast receiving any huge surf. We will however be having some three-foot surf if the current predictions are correct.
There are a lot of coin beaches and treasure sites over there that could be open after the storm passes through.
Keep watching Ian. It isn't going to be far away from us and could come even closer than previously expected.

There was some interesting TV Monday evening.
There was the space vehicle, Dart, hitting an asteroid. You got a good image of the asteroid, but the picture was lost when the vehicle carrying the camera made contact with the asteroid. That was a historic first and was the type of thing I'd like to see more on the Discovery channel.
And there was a Hallmark program showing Yosemite. You know the Hallmark plot - girl catches guy - or however you see it. Anyhow, going in you know the plot (all they change is the actors and the location) but they showed some of the iconic scenery of Yosemite, which is a visit I'd recommend for anybody and everybody that can. The scenery of Yosemite is absolutely spectacular. The TV images can't do it justice. Do it while you are young enough to do some serious hiking. Gold dredging can be done in the river just outside the park, and there are often archaeological digs going on inside the park. In my opinion, Yosemite is a musts-see.
Be prepared and keep watching Ian.
Good hunting,
