Pay attention to the clips like the one above that I post. There are always tips or lessons to be found.
When you read a clip like that as yourself; where was the item found, how was it found, and what are the implications for you. Also take a good look at the item and see what you can learn about identifying items of that type and age.
In this case, coins were found on the same site where a lot of coins had previously been found. So what does that tell you. It confirms something I've often said. When you find one, there is a good chance there are more. Intensify your efforts in the same area until you've done ALL you can do. And after you've done all you can do, give the site some time for things to change, go back to it again, perhaps with different techniques and technologies. When you give the site a little time, things will change and new finds might become available. On a beach things might change for the better or worse, but they will change. On a land site rain and other things might help make more finds available.
The article mentions rain but also rocks. I always like to look under rocks. That includes on the beach too. I've found good things under rocks. Not always but sometimes. Same goes for logs and other obstacles. Don't just detect the easy spot that others would have cleaned out before you. That goes for the beach too. Don't just hit the easiest and most likely spots.
One thing about land sites is tha most detectorists will metal detect the clear open easy ground but there is a good chance they will miss areas under bushes, in the weeds (which you might want to cut), around fences and other metal, such as rebar in buildings or walks.
And then there is the mention of pirate attack. Knowing something of the history of the site can be a big help. What happened at the location and how would things be lost to time..
So when you read a story like that, you can skip over it quickly thinking that has nothing to do with you or the Treasure Coast or you can pick up on those kinds of things and add it all to your mental databank.
More effective behavior results from seeing connections and general principles and their significance, and then storing it away and using what you learned in the future.

Now, the Atlantic is making history for an unexpected and confounding distinction: It’s the longest stretch in more than half a century without a single late-summer cyclone, a time of year when several often churn at once.
While there is no evidence to back up the link between oarfish sightings and earthquakes, in August 2024 snorkelers found an oarfish in California — two days before an earthquake hit the region. However, scientists believe this was a coincidence...
Here is that link.

I just added the study on metal detected pistareens of America to the reference link list for your convenience.
It is at the bottom of the list.

Meteorologists are fretting about a failed prediction for the current hurricane season, they are now thinking that global warming could actually cut down on the number of hurricanes while creating superstorms of those that do form.
It looks like Texas could be hit by the system developing in the Gulf. There is one other system out there that could come our way.
Nothing higher than two or three foot surf Tuesday and Wednesday this week.
