Divers found the remains of an underwater hospital and cemetery off coast of Key West. The photo above shows those structures as they once existed.
A team of divers exploring the Dry Tortugas National Park, off of Key West, have discovered what are believed to be a hospital and cemetery that date back to the early 1800s.
The site is submerged around what is known as Garden Key, about 70 miles west of the southernmost point...

If you are worried that you or your fossil-fueled machinery are responsible for the rise in sea level, it happened "repeatedly" long before your fossil-fueled machinery was invented.
During the Pleistocene Epoch (2.6 million–11,700 years ago), sea levels rose and fell repeatedly in response to the advance and retreat of continental ice sheets... During interglacial periods, the Florida Platform was largely submerged and coral reefs established themselves on the outside of the tiny Florida peninsula. As sea level dropped to its current location, the tops of these reefs were exposed and now make up the Florida Keys...Source: Geology - Dry Tortugas National Park (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov)

Did you know that no matter where you go, there is gold? You just can't get away from it. No matter how fast or far you run, you can't get away from it.
The reason is, there is gold in the human body.
Although iron is the most abundant metal in our body, traces of gold can be found in human body in several different places. These include brain, heart, blood, and our joints. If all the pure gold found in a human body whose weight is 70kg is collected, it can amount to 0.229 milligrams of gold. Although a high level of gold in our blood can cause toxicity, scientists have determined that gold does serve a function in maintaining the health of our joints in small amount. Besides that, gold is good conductor of electricity, which helps in transmitting electrical signals throughout our body...

A interesting treasure truth. Men travel many miles to find gold, not knowing that what they seek is to be found within.
It isn't necessarily an indicator of some huge hoard or gold mine if you find traces of gold in your drinking water - or any water for that matter.
One hundred and thirty-two natural water samples were collected from various sources and analyzed for gold by the latest techniques. Background values for gold in natural waters range from <0.001 to 0.005 ppb, and anomalous values range from 0.010 to 2.8 ppb. Waters collected from mineralized areas have a mean gold value of 0.101 ppb, whereas waters collected from unmineralized areas have a mean of 0.002 ppb. Some of the high gold values reported in the earlier literature were probably due to interferences by high salt content in the sample and/or lack of proper filter procedures...
See Concentration of gold in natural waters | U.S. Geological Survey (usgs.gov)
Notice that the amount of gold found in natural water sources can be higher for a variety of reasons, Environmental mineralization and salt will do it, for example.
There have been attempts to extract gold from ocean water, although a method that is cost effective has not yet been found.

So if you are on an island and find traces of gold in the water, it would not be unusual at all. In fact, it would be more surprising if you couldn't find any trace of gold in the water.

If you write very much, as I do, you know that writing is only half of communicating. You can put the message out there, but then it has to be received and interpreted. Putting the message out there is only half of it. It also takes a well-intentioned and capable receiver.
I once received an email in response to what one reader described as a "long-winded" discourse I supposedly made about a particular artifact. As I told the emailer, I actually said almost nothing about the artifact, which was true. Most of the post was an excellent analysis by a blot reader - not myself - and I think the post made that clear. The emailer evidently missed that. I can't blame the emailer. The blog is supposed to be easy and entertaining as well as informative. It isn't a serious scientific journal or anything like that. And I do make a disappointing number of simple mistakes - mostly because I try to do a lot too quickly.
While it is not so important in this blog, there are times when it is important to be clear and precise. An election changing letter from 51 slippery intelligence Pinocchios referring to the now world-famous laptop said, “If we are right, this is Russia trying to influence how Americans vote in this election, and we believe strongly that Americans need to be aware of this.” Why the urgency if they didn't even know? The answer is obvious enough. They went to great lengths to, in their own words, "influence how Americans vote in this election." The information superhighway has turned into an oversaturated misinformation/disinformation mudpuddle leveraged by a whole-government approach to advance the down-with-America agenda. We are now in a bizarro mirror-image social media world used by the power elite to manipulate the portion of the population that exists in an emotion-over-intellect disinformation-drugged state. Do not be deceived. Clear thinking and reading is more important than ever but unfortunately too rare among the miseducated population of America today. Too bad the larger population of this country is not more like the readership of this blog.

We are now getting some negative tides. I hope I get a chance to do some kind of hunting.
The surf remains small.
Good hunting,
