While bicycling on beach, Cocoa Beach, Fla. I found an extremely strange cache!
I notice a 'blanket', or towel, ocean blue in color tied with two knots laying just at the top of the water mark on a dune.
When I peered inside I saw a nickel and a penny at the top of the pile of the contents inside.
I untied the knot beans, rice, corn, slices of watermelon, chunks of pineapple, wrapped up bubble gum, rice and wildrice.
I untied the 2 knots and laid out the bedside table size cloth.
There was a Red Snapper Fish on the top and as I fanned out the stuff in there I found Chickens that had been decapitated!
These chickens were in color, 2 white , 2 rust, 1 black with gray speckles.
There were coins! Ooodles of American currency coins.
I picked out the coins reading the denominations aloud.
I have seen sacrifice offered to the animal gods before when I had lived in Indonesia. This was similar to the fact that it was a sacrifice. 'Unknown Origin'.
I notice a piece of paper inside the stuff that had a list of names. The Names were either, Spanish, Portuguese or Mexican . I think Mexican because of the types of foods and animals involved.
I do not know if the list was for a "blessing", a "curse",(perhaps some voodoo involved here???!), or a "prayer request".
The total tally of the finds, that I recovered, was $5.33. At least 8 Quarters, 13 Nickels. etc.
The food inside was not rotten, or even rotting. It was damp. Perhaps it had been tossed into the ocean the night before or early in the morning. ? There were a few beetles of about 1/4" cruising through it.
I carried no camera. So no picture to post, sorry.
I bought a Florida lotto, Fantasy 5, and a Play 4 , (1-7-1-5), ticket with the change. They lost. lol.
Anyone have an idea of what this cache was from my description?
I thought this to be interestingly enough to post to the treasure hunting community because in MAGIC; "Animal Sacrafice" and "Human Sacrafice" are linked to "Treasure Magic".
By the way. After I had picked the money out I retied it and placed it where I found it. Some of the contents spilled into the sand however and was lost from the rest.
+ 1 gold earring, not solid.

What if his finding it and opening it was what the divine purpose was?

Why discount what was done and call it desecration when it could have been the will of God that he find it and do what he did to it.

In turn, he posts here and someone reading this decides to buy a metal detector and search the beaches of FL. That person just may find something valuable, sell it at a pawn shop and decide to send some of the money back to Cuba or Haiti to a relative. Who's to say that relative isn't one of the original names listed on the paper in the original 'sacrifice' of this metal detecting uncle who sent the money back home?

The way I see it, the prayer-slash-sacrifice was consecrated at it's concept. The sacrifice was the physical manifestation of those prayers and ultimately the vehicle by which those prayers were conveyed.

So, perhaps the mysterious item found on the beach did in fact serve its intended purpose!

I dunno...

Thank you and Danke'. I think so too, but you explained it better than I thought. Good for you!
<> <> <> :hello2:

Thank you and thank you?
 

I lol'd at the watermelon. In my neck of the woods wasting watermelon is considered a felony. I would have kept the money as well.
 

That is good luck. I think it is Wiccan. They usually tie a wrapped up cloth with salt and herbs around a goats neck and set them free for some odd resone.
 

I have to tell, I love this site, not real new but haven't posted yet. Love, love the site, on all the time, yes I have the bug my favorite thing in the world to do"HUNT"!!! But this post and the reactions, I have been laughing my ass( we are all adults) for an hour. Mexican is not a language. OK WE GET IT! You guys writing, go back and read the whole thing, it's hysterical. I wish they wouldn't waste so much food, come on that's good stuff. You guys have no idea how fun you are and I love reading all your posts, but this takes the cake. I am still laughing writing this and thank you, because in these times it has been awhile since a good, my face hurts, make it stop laugh, so thank you my new comedy team. I promise I will start posting, actually in six years detecting had some great finds

No it was not luggage. No that is not a kooky dialect, that is called "creative writting". Free money.

"just like folks in south alabama do not sound like folks from new york"

Is that TRUE?
I din't know that. ;D

I would have taken the money (and been PROUD to do it).
Who gives a rats *** what it was. Obviously when someone
leaves it on the beach, it's up for grabs if there's no identification.

I would say if I left $5 at the local beach it would be gone in a few minutes.
Thank you coinshooter. The Muslim Prayer box you found won't bring any voodoo too yoo I hope! :help: lol.
 

in some religions being ate up with greed is thought of as a serious problem * so they offer up a bit of money to get rid of the greed bug / bad luck due to greediness off of them and onto another person --someone that would take a "religious offering" is thought odf a a "perfect target" -- the taker of the gift gets the "greed bug / bad luck " transfered onto them until they do a good money deed for another person --(ie) gives money away in some form for free to another person --which of course a very greedy person can not do by their basic nature. ---so their forever "doomed" for life by the "greed bug / bad luck."
 

No but somebodys gona find a suitcase that smells like 0000 and gona wonder what the 0000 happend. :icon_scratch:
 

coincavator -- you'ld get rid of all the old leftovers in the fridge -- a dead smelly raccon from in front of yer house , and a buncha worthless half eatten zinc cents and a useleess wore out suitcase ---sounds like yer ahead of the game already --- lol
