| Two Medicine Bottles Found Monday. |
I went for a little walk to look for bottles Monday. I noticed the water was lower and thought I'd see what was going on. Unfortunately, the water was very muddy and near zero visiblity. I did notice some broken glass and thought it was worth looking around a little more. Despite the poor visibility, I managed to find the two old medicine bottles shown above. Not worth anything, but an indicator that some old stuff might be found if conditions improve.
They would have much better if they were embossed with a name of a pharmacy.
Medicine and cure bottles are among the most common found in the Treasure Coast area,
if my area is representative.---

If you check your pocket change, you might find an error coin that is being found on 2023 Edith Kanaka/ole quarters. I've noticed that some of those quarters but didn't know to check for this error.
Here are a few paragraphs describing the error coin.
Although we mentioned clashed die errors above, it’s unusual to see one this profound on such a prominent coin. The 2023-P Edith Kanaka’ole quarter features a clashed die error that is both easy to see and a bit humorous.
The clash of dies in this case has resulted in the printing of the name “EDITH,” which appears in large block letters, on both sides of the coin. It appears artfully enough in Kanaka’ole’s hair on the coin’s reverse, but the die clash also imprints an upside-down version of “EDITH” on poor George Washington on the obverse.
Because these errors are both rare overall (in the scope of all coins minted) and rare within the context of errors themselves, they are quite valuable. Estimates vary, but charging more than $100 for one of these error coins is a very reasonable situation at this time. Furthermore, they are unlikely to decline in value, and as more of them are lost, they will become prized parts of many coin collections.

In November, the Mint produced 602.9 million coins for circulation, comprising cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, and half dollars. Notably, nickel production resumed after a four-month pause. The monthly total marked a 27.1% drop from October and a 0.3% decline compared to November 2023...
Despite costing the Mint 3.07 cents to produce and distribute each 1-cent coin, the Federal Reserve consistently orders more pennies than any other denomination. In November, the Mint struck 324 million Lincoln cents, accounting for 53.7% of all circulating-quality coins produced for the month. This figure represents a 38.6% drop from October’s total of 528 million cents – the highest monthly output since May 2023...

Nothing really big in the forecast, but there will be some wind and changes in direction that will move some sand around on the beach fronts.
Good hunting,
