Sedwick Treasure Auction no. 34 is now online. You can register for bidding.
Below is one fine Lima "royal-like" 8 escudo that is already off to a hot start even though bidding has just begun.
You can find the auction online to view all of the lots.
I always recommend looking through the auction to increase familiarity with the coins and artifacts of the period.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – A boat and other artifacts believed to be from the 19th century were discovered recently as crews worked on a road project in downtown St. Augustine this week.
According to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the timber section of the boat was found as crews worked on the King Street at State Road A1A drainage improvement project that began earlier this year.
The well-preserved wooden vessel, which appears to be about 20 feet long, was uncovered by the Bridge of Lions and began to further reveal itself as crews cleared away dirt on Wednesday morning...
Here is the link.

Summer is over without any hurricanes for our area, but it is still not too late. In fact we have a tropical storm in the Atlantic right now.
