7/17/24 Report - Inverted Cross: Popularity and Meaning. Amazing Emeralds. Tips for Selecting Jewelry Beaches.

Cross Being Worn Inverted.



For centuries, the inverted cross, with the horizontal crossbar at the bottom instead of the original one at the top, was considered a Christian symbol, based on an ancient tradition that the apostle Peter was crucified upside down.

Saint Peter was crucified during the reign of Emperor Nero, around the year 67...

So the upside-down cross, sometimes called the Cross of Saint Peter, became a symbol of humility and was then associated with the Pope, known as the papal cross–to the point that the Popes have used it regularly, although with more reluctance in the last two pontificates...

Because when the Masons took power, and from them the Satanists, the symbolism of inversion of Christianity became predominant.

Occultists used the same Christian symbols to connote the opposite in order to confuse Christians and make their task of sabotage within the Catholic flock more efficient.

And today we are seeing the popularization of the inverted cross.

As society degenerates into a modern form of Sodom and Gomorrah, the inverted cross symbol has become more prevalent...

Did you hear about the Ambani wedding?  Hundreds of millions of dollars was spent on one of the most extravagant weddings ever.  Here is the link for more about that.  Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant wedding: Celebrity guests arrive for lavish star studded ceremony | CNN

After wearing emeralds the size of “popsicles” for the pre-wedding celebrations, Nita decked herself once again in the auspicious emerald stone for her son’s ceremony. A collection of sizable emeralds in pear, over, brilliant, and round cuts adorned her necklaces, bindi-pieces, nose-ring, earrings, rings, and bracelets...

There are of course legendary Indian emeralds. "Among the most renowned are the jewels of the Maharaja of Baroda, including the celebrated 'Star of India' emerald. Another exemplary piece is the Mogul Mughal emerald, a remarkable rectangular-cut emerald from the 17th century, weighing approximately 217.80 carats and inscribed with sacred texts," third generation jewellery dealer Lee Siegelson tells T&C.  (The Most Dazzling Jewelry From Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s Wedding | Vogue)

Yesterday I talked about metal detecting gold rings on the beach.  Here is some things I said about that years ago.

Fact 1. Some cultures and groups wear more gold than others. That is obvious but take advantage of that knowledge and hunt beaches where the people who wear the most or best gold gather.

Fact 2. Wealthier and flashier people tend to wear better jewelry than poorer and less ostentatious people. That is not always true because some wealthy people do not wear much good gold while there are some poorer groups that do wear good gold. 

Given the choice between hunting a beach with a lot of low-quality jewelry versus one with higher quality jewelry, I would often take the beach with the higher quality stuff even if the finds are less frequent. Some beaches have a lot of gold but some of those beaches will have predominantly lower-quality 10K or plated gold or silver rather than 14K or 18k gold, for example. 

Fact 3. Tourists tend to lose more gold than locals. First, tourists often do not want to leave their valuables in the car or hotel and so unlike locals are more likely to wear their good stuff to the beach. Also, tourists are not as aware of how easily gold can be lost in the sand or water.

Fact 4. Young active people usually lose more jewelry than more mature people. It is often the diving, hand-stands, cart-wheels and other youthful carelessness that leads to many of the loses.

Not taking beach or water conditions or other factors into account, you will find more gold where young active wealthy careless people, tourists and people from gold wearing cultures gather frolic. South Florida has beaches where all of those factors come together to create some great hunting.

Many factors should be considered for selecting a beach for finding gold jewelry.  The factors include socio economic and cultural.

Nothing new on the hurricane map and no big changes in beach conditions.

Good hunting,
