Archaeologists say they've found the submerged Wreck of a sailing ship captured in 1721 near Madagascar, during one of history's most infamous pirate raids.
The American researchers, from the Center for Historic Shipwreck Preservation have investigated the wreck for 16 years and now think it's the remains of Nossa Senhora do Cabo, a Portuguese ship carrying cargo from India that was attacked and seized by pirates, among them the notorious pirate captain Olivier "The Buzzard" Levasseur.
The wreck now lies on the floor of a small harbor on the island of Nosy Boraha off the northeast coast of Madagascar, which was a hangout known as Île Sainte-Marie during the "Golden Age of Piracy" in the early 18th century...

Strange events.
There have been times when I felt strangely drawn to a find. There was the time when I kept feeling I should go hunting at a particular spot even though I had almost no time to hunt and the drive itself would take a lot of the time I did have. Conflicted as I was, I went anyway. I walking into the water and within a few minutes had one of my biggest finds. I took it and left. I had so little time to hunt that it didn't seem to make sense to go but for some reason my feelings won out over all logic.
That happened twice. The other time something like that happened, I felt like driving to Jupiter. I hadn't been there for years, but I decided out of the blue to drive there one day and found my first Jupiter cob - one of my best too. I probably knew enough to believe that conditions might be good down there, but I passed up all the closer beaches, and it worked out very well.
Those are two times I just felt strangely drawn to a location. I suppose there were other times when I had a "feeling" but it didn't work out so well, but I don't recall any of those. Maybe it is just selective memory.
Have you ever been out on a hunt and walking around swinging your coil without hearing any signals and then a second or two before your metal detector beeps over a good find you just seem to know there is something there. It seems to happen to me. Just a second or two before the metal detector signals, I feel like I know a good target is there. Again, I don't know if that is real or not, but that is how it seems.
Then there was the time I was out on the beach at night and it was pitch dark. I couldn't see my hand in front of my face. The water was very rough. I could hear the waves breaking. Probably six-foot waves, at least. But there was a light that seemed just offshore. It seemed like just a few feet out. Unlike the bouncing waves, it was stationary. I didn't pay it much attention at the time, which is kind of strange too, but I do sometimes get really focused. Slowly the light got smaller and apparently more distant until it seemed far out at sea. I didn't hear any motors or anything. The only way I can make sense of that one is that it was an illusion that the light was so impossibly close to the beach at the beginning.
Then there was the UFO I captured in a find photo. I've shown that before. Here it is.
Just to the right and slightly above the top of the bottle you can see it.
Here is a closer view.
Don't know what that is but it looks like one of those tic tacs. I didn't see or hear anything at the time.
My brother-in-law thought I was the luckiest person in the world to have captured a picture of a UFO.He once had a much more dramatic UFO experience, but didn't get a photo.

The Treasure Beaches blogs have been getting around 10,000 views a day lately.
I keep starting to post the remote viewing experiment and then putting it off. I'll probably actually do it some day soon. I'm still hoping to find one photo that I would like to use.
Good hunting,
