The Intertropical Convergence Zone looks like it will be heating up in the near future.. A lot of moist air seems like it will be pushing away the Saharan dust layer also

It's kind of funny how just about everyone in a hurricanes path would be saying "oh no! I hope we don't get one!" As they worry about their homes, vehicles, and losing power, but not a treasure hunter! Nope! Everyone wants it to come and it's kind of comical! Love the attitude of you crazy adventure seekers!

From my recent experience of a recent earth quake followed by two hurricanes which came close to Hawaii, you would feel different, if you were the one who was in harms way. There is nothing comical about it!

I am a Florida native, seen many hurricanes, after the 3 that hit my home in 2004 I have no desire to have another hit my home, BUT a near miss off the coast maybe 40 miles is a different story....

Sandy was the perfect Florida storm. Thats my ideal scenario for a hurricane. Stay off shore and churn.

I don't think anyone here wants to see a direct hit by a major hurricane. Most of us Floridians have seen the destruction they bring. I personally know several people who lost their homes and everything they owned to storms, and would not wish that on anybody. But some beach erosion from a passing storm does nobody any harm.

I think we all kind of understood that that's how we felt about it without having to say it at least most of us did.
Loooooong day today.. Got one that could be interesting.

Fairly certain after researching the hallmark it's gold filled or plated Mexican fabrication

Guys I got you. Go down at low tide dig a hole about 6ft down...put a bucket in the hole wait till storm is over... Your bucket will be full of gold because gold always settles in the lowest point! Your welcome! Sent from my iPhone using TreasureNet




Someone should honestly try this and see if it does actually work
