An extremely rare "rainbow cup" coin minted more than 2,000 years ago by the Celts has been found next to a river in Germany, according to the Bavarian State Archaeological Collection.

The gold coin, minted in the second or first century B.C., features a rare design of a four-pointed star surrounded by arches on one side, said Bernward Ziegaus, a senior curator in the State Archaeological Collection's numismatic department who is studying the coin. Like other rainbow cups, the coin is curved.

"The name rainbow cup coins come from the legend that they are drops of gold that fall to earth at the end of a rainbow," Ziegaus told Live Science in an email. "Another legend about these Celtic coins tells us that these coins can only be found by Sunday children," or a child of fortune.

"In fact, the finder was born on a Sunday and is indeed a Sunday child, a lucky child!" he said...

John Walker Treasure Coast Bottle Find.


This bottle is embossed John Walker Ltd. - Kilmarnock - Scotland.   These bottles are very common and not worth much.  It also has the Federal Law Forbids Sale or Reuse of This Bottle. 

I seldom bother with bottles bearing that message, which places the age of the bottle between something approximately 1935 to 1964.

So Lee will finally being moving north and before long we'll be getting a rougher surf.  Seems like I've been following Lee forever.  It just wouldn't move.  Too bad it wasn't located where it would do us more good.

We have another one to watch, that seems like it will do something similar.

Maybe it will move north earlier than Lee.  That is what it looks like at this point.

In another day we should be seeing an increasing surf.  Here is the SurfGuru chart for the Vero Pier area.

If you haven't figured it out, you can check the various beaches on Surfguru by selecting Report, then Central Florida and then the area you want to see.

You might want to get your metal detector charged and equipment in good condition.
