To many collectors, the ultimate opportunity involves a chance to acquire something unique, a stand-alone trophy that nobody else could have.
Collectors of top U.S. coins will have three such opportunities within a week at Heritage Auctions, when a trio of unique trophy-quality coins are offered in The Bass Collection, Part II U.S. Coins Signature Auction – Orlando FUN Jan. 5 and the FUN U.S. Coins Signature Auction Jan. 11-15.
“The selection of unique coins coming to Heritage Auctions in January is extraordinary,” said Todd Imhof, executive vice president of Heritage. “Opportunities to acquire coins like these come along once in a lifetime – if that. To have three such chances within such a short timespan simply underscores the significance of these two auctions, as any one of these coins can forever change a collection.”
Here is the link for more about three rare and valuable coins that will be available in Orlando next week.
Three Unique Coins in FUN Sale - Numismatic News
In numismatics, as in other walks of life, knowledge is closely equated with success. The more you know, the more successful you will be. The field of gold coins is no exception.
Whether you endeavor to pick up a few scattered "sleepers" as a potential investment, or whether you are determined to acquire a date run or a set of coins, you will find background information concerning the creation and distribution of gold coins to be of value. Beyond that, in the pages to follow there are specific suggestions for identifying undervalued scarce and rare pieces. But, first, here is a survey of United States gold coins:...

| Artifacts From Viking Grave. |
The remains of a richly appointed Viking grave appeared here. Cremated human remains were uncovered, as well as many other objects.
The archaeologists found fragments of a soapstone vessel. There was also a penannular brooch - also known as a celtic brooch, a sickle, two knives, horse tack such as a possible bridle and a bell, Bugge Kræmer said. The discovery was first reported by NRK Oslo and Viken...

Ther other day I did a post on intuition. Just after doing that post, I was listening to the radio and a person told how "there was a time" they could read cards in Las Vegas. They knew which card was coming up next, and casino management accused them of counting cards and wouldn't allow them to continue playing cards. It was a one time thing.
It is possible that intuition can be "on" for specific times, but not be available most of the time. Psychics say there are certain conditions required for them to be able to do accurate readings and some academic articles have found the same. One thing that seems to be necessary is belief. It seems psychics don't perform well when surrounded by skepticism. Maybe an eagerness to believe means the subject will stretch to interpret the results positively, unlike the skeptic, who will find problems or questions, no matter how accurate the reading might be.
I don't know how real all that is, but it is consistently reported in the few published academic studies on the subject.
Other articles, less supported by good research, suggest methods for improving intuition. Even if all that is true, and I'm not sure it is, it is interesting, and if you are a certain personality type, you might want to look into it. Other personality types might as well forget it from the get-go.
No matter how real the phenomena is or how it can be explained, when you metal detect you might get feelings that seem to be intuitive. I've noticed many times getting a feeling right before digging up something good. Don't know if it is a trick of memory, coincidence or what, but I'm sure many detectorists get the feeling of having some sort of precognitive experience.

I rememberr when the Patriot Act was enacted, some people were afraid of abuses while others naively though "if you haven't don't anything wrong you have nothing to worry about." Those people evidently thought power is never abused and mistakes are never made. Recent history has proven that those who were afraid of abuses were justified.
If you want to learn more about the Patriot Act., here is a good link.
