3/6/24 Report - Gold Treasure Found in Panama. Beach Renourishment Stalemate. Vero Beach History.

Written by the TreasureGuide for the exclusive use of the Treasure Beaches Report.

Inside the grave at El Caño Archaeological Park, scientists discovered an array of gold treasures, including bracelets, two belts made with gold beads, crocodile-shaped earrings, gold-covered sperm whale teeth earrings and circular gold plates. Archaeologists also unearthed earrings in the shape of a man and a woman, two bells, skirts made with dog teeth, and a set of bone flutes...

The latest effort to end a yearslong stalemate between local and federal governments over beach renourishment has itself stalled.

Why it matters: Beach renourishment — the process of pumping sand onto shorelines to combat erosion keeps Florida's beaches accessible to the public and protects waterfront habitats and communities from storms.

Such projects are expensive, running up tabs in the tens of millions; without federal help, renourishment could be out of reach for some locales.

Catch up quick: City and county governments have for decades partnered with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to split the work and cost.

But the Corps recently reinterpreted its own rules governing how to access privately owned land through an agreement called an easement.

The Corps now requires that all property owners within a beach renourishment project area grant public access to some of their land in perpetuity...

Another bit of local history.

TRIPSONS Dairy Quart Milk Bottle.

I picked this one out because I didn't remember having a Tripson's bottle.  The bottom has a 54 on it, which could be the date.  That would make sense given the style of the bottle.

Waldo Sexton started the Vero Beach dairy in 1924.  His son-in-law, John Tripson, took over the dairy, which then became Tripson's Dairy.  Tripson's Dairy closed in 1979. 

Waldo Sexton, a Vero pioneer, among other local buildings and landmarks built the Driftwood Inn, which anyone at all familiar with Vero Beach will know.

I've found several Vero Dairy bottles, but I don't know that I've posted any of those.
