Jimmy at
http://coinrollhunting.blogspot.com/gives us a good way to spend the down time that is rapidly approaching with winter slowly creeping into the east coast. Here is his blog post on the subject,
Well, I have only been coin roll hunting for silver coins for about one month now.
I have searched through about $2400.00 in half dollars looking for silver coins and have done pretty well. My totals to date are as follows 3-1954 silver Franklin halves 4- 1957 silver Franklin halves 1 -1963 silver franklin half 8-1964 silver kennedy halves
1- 1966 silver kennedy half 5 -1967 silver kennedy halves 3- 1968 silver kennedy halves
One of the 1968 halves have very nice rainbow toning, and 3 -1969 silver kennedy halves
Anything made before 1964 are %90 silver coins and any silver coins from 1965-1969 are %40 silver. Happy Hunting

To me it looks like a good way to spend those snowed in days during the winter.
So Give Jimmy’s coin blog a visit and see what else he has to say.

Possible Egyptians visits to Pre Columbus North America
In Keith Ranville’s Latest Research the gives us a possible theory that the Egyptians could have had some early influence on the Micmac tribes of Eastern Canada. What this open up to the treasure hunter in me, is should we start looking for the next undiscovered King Tuts tomb in eastern Canada ?
The Micmac are an Algonquian tribe living in that part of eastern Canada called Acadia. In contrast to most tribes of North American Indians, the Micmac possess their own written language. This language was supposedly invented and taught to them by Pierre Maillard, a French priest who lived among the Micmac in the Eighteenth Century. The strange part about the Micmac writing is that its signs are often very similar to Egyptian hieroglyphs having the same meanings. B. Fell made this association in his book America B.C. He noted further that the priest Maillard actually had died 61 years before Champollion first published his decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphics. It is unreasonable, therefore, to believe that Maillard could have invented Micmac writing with its Egyptian affinities. Either the affinities are the product of chance or Pre-Columbian contacts occurred between the Micmac and Egyptian voyagers.

Native methods being used to Break Oak Island Treasure Mystery<>
Keith gives us more insight on the complete picture of how he is coming up with new ideas and leads in a treasure hunt on Oak Island that has been going on since 1795, when a young local boy rowed over to the island, found what he thought was signs of recent ground activity directly under a branch with a ships Pulley still attached on it. Beliveing this was the location of a pirate's lost treasure he launched a treasure hunt that has lasted over 200 years and has cost many lives. Keith’s Ideas and plans are the first in a long time that have not just involved going to the island and start digging a hole. As a treasure hunter I respect any one who takes the task to fully research and understand the treasure they are going after before the first shovel of ground is moved. Here is Keith’s latest work on the Oak Island Treasure subject.

WE WERE NOT THE SAVAGES
A Mi'kmaq perspective on the Collision between European and Native American Civilizations
This new, twenty-first -century edition of We were Not the Savages is the culmination of the author's thoughtful rewritings and updating of the first edition and bestseller. It eloquently expands upon the content of the first edition and includes shocking new information about the confrontation between Amerindian and European civilizations. This single volume provides a comprehensive and uncompromising narrative of how the democratic and peaceful Mi’kmaq people were brought to the edge of extinction by a GREEDY, brutal and arrogant enemy. It also chronicles the many abuses the FIRST NATION people have suffered under the misadministration of Canada's Indian Act and explores the complex challenges they now face with non-Native Society.
Daniel Paul N Paul's re-examination of historical records cast serious doubt on early military and political figures society has honored as heroes, and brings us to face to face with the question of who the savages really were when Europeans invaded the Americas. Paul's expose of continuing injustices challenges the image most of us hold of Canada as a fair and compassionate country.
Keith’s interview with Author Daniel Paul
Mr. Daniel N. Paul had told me about the history of the heritage in Nova Scotia and how the Europeans treated the Mi’kmaq people. Mr. Paul N. Paul tells many painful & brutal accounts to many to mention, inflicted on the Mi’kmaq People and how the History books were cooked to protect the image of the earlier Europeans.
Mr. Paul is one of many people I had a chance to speak with he opened my eyes about my research that I was investigating, the stigma I will be up against, as I am a Cree First Nation Native not only I am not from the local Native Bands or the Nova Scotia Local Europeans as well. When I speak of the Oak Island Mystery to Mi’kmaq People I got mixed accounts on stories and found them to be very interesting stories. I met Mi’kmaq Native Elders, an spiritual leaders and they told me information about many things that are a head of me' I now know what they were talking about as I am at the near end of my research.
This Oak Island Treasure Mystery has been very challenging it has been a day to day adventure. I hold information you can’t get from any book, which is what made my research very unique as for me theory it may have Bruised all Oak Islands theories ego. and changed the Oak Island Treasure hunt completely.
The Oak Island treasure will be found with my methods
Birch Island's Triangle holds the secrets to this mystery.

New Discovery on Oak Islands Contained on Fragmented Stone
FRAGMENT INSCRIBED on SMITHS COVE STONE
<>
This stone was found in Smiths Cove on Oak Island.
The symbols appear to be ancient in fact there is a symbol that is in ancient "Greek" meaning four underwater
doors :+: or two to two underwater doors.
and the symbol with a circle with a dot in the center
may mean in or inside.
So the top two symbols confirms the money pits symbols
are genuine and they did exist there are three symbols the
same mention on the money pits stone inscriptions this is a
huge step foreword into authenticate the money pits symbols.
So the four symbol Smiths Cove stone inscription reads:
"FOUR UNDERWATERDOORS INSIDE"
These Greek underwater doors are some where inside
Mahone Bay Nova Scotia. my Research tells me the location
of these underwater doors are "in" Birch Islands Triangle.
these symbol are clues to the people responsible for the
advance workings in Mahone Bay.
they had a understanding of ancient writing and a
knowledge of ancient building. I believe the knowledge
of these people's records are in Birch Island.

New Twist on the Oak Island Treasure Mystery?
Just when you thought the mysterious and elusive Oak Island treasure hunt had died down, and every thing that there was to know about it had been discovered, a fresh new perspective on the mystery could overturn the entire context of the hunt and lead everyone in a completely different direction.
First Nations Researcher Keith Ranville http://kr.mendhak.com has come up with a very distinctive and interesting interpretation of the Oak Island etchings which differ significantly from the existing interpretations due to his Native Heritage (Canadian) background.
Keith’s use of Google satellite photos and his work on the Skull Stone etching is a Great use of bringing the free technology out there to the Hunt for lost treasure. Below are some of Keith’s new Ideas and another link to his site so you can get the complete story and see the great photos he has there.
I have decoded the symbols found in the money Pit In 1803 using my Native heritage background the translation of the forty symbols explains about a Island two Islands east of Oak Island called birch Island, on the north end of birch Island the impression of a triangle is there it takes more than half of the Island you can see the triangle from Google satellite, the triangles that were inscribed on the stone tablet refers to the triangle on Birch Island the rest of the symbols are engineering instructions or explains what goes on in the triangle area on Birch Island there is something of great heritage value there, that will interest everyone.
Translations of Symbols Found in the bottom layer in the Money Pit in 1803
Triangles, two angles, divides, south/north, at triangles right angles, two doors left of triangle, two doors right of triangle,upper,two,tunnels,divides,doors,triangles,doors,divides,upper/lower,three,tunnels. Tunnel, three,divides,into,half&half,divides,to,into,shafts,in,one,south/north,two,upper,to,south/ north,third,second,shafts.
In addition, regarding the detailing of the Skull Stone etching found on Oak Island, that was produced by Keith possibly confirms the role of pirates in this mystery?

Keith has put out a request for anyone that has any information, articles, documents, photographs or anything else which could help in the continuing investigation, If you have any please reply to this post or email me at gregmulac@aol.com and I will forward it to Keith and if you want I will put it on the Blog for everyone to use.
Keith’s new information is interesting and really deserves a closer look, New Technology is really changing the way we hunt for treasure and the fact that Keith is using what every treasure should know that it all begins with research, This is a great lesson to pass on to new treasure hunters. I know when he goes to start digging I would love to be there with him.
Caribbean Travel
Brought to you by http://caribbeanvacationtravel.articleinfomart.com/
When it comes to vacation destinations that are all about having fun in the sun, nothing beats the Caribbean. Situated just to the south and east of Mexico and north and west of Venezuela, South America where the waters are clear and the sun is hot, a Caribbean travel vacation has something for everyone - whether you are one for water sports, hiking, swimming, diving, and just plain frolicking in its white sand beaches.
But traveling to a hot destination like the Caribbean can be quite expensive, and for this reason, many people balk at the idea of a Caribbean travel. Indeed, why spend so much on a single vacation when you could visit much cheaper vacation destinations? Never mind if these places don’t even come close to what a Caribbean travel entails.
Ah, but what if we told you that there’s a much better way to spend a vacation? What if we told you that you can go on a Caribbean travel vacation without having to spend a lot of your hard-earned money?
A Caribbean travel for less! Now, there’s a thought.
Below are four chic hotels where you can keep the island flavor high and the prices at a bare minimum while on a Caribbean travel vacation:
Flash and Glamour - Anguilla
The most northerly of the Leeward Islands in the Lesser Antilles, Anguilla is an island known for the flash and glamour of many of its resorts. For this reason, the island is a popular Caribbean travel destination for many visitors who want to bask in the compelling charm, romance, and excitement that the islands are known for.
Rendezvous Bay Hotel & Villas may not have all that flash and glamour, but it lacks in that department, the hotel makes up for its location and fantastic rates (starts at $130 while villa costs $275). This Caribbean travel resort hotel offers 46 rooms, all sitting directly on 50 palm-laden acres of fronting a 1 ½ mile long sugary sand beach. The resort has been recently renovated, offering white tile floors and simple rattan furnishings, and is divided among a dozen low-rise buildings.
Another worthy hotel group is Ku, its name meaning “sacred place” in the Arawak Indian language. With room rates starting at $295, this 27-suite hotel overlooks Shoal Bay East and are South Beach-chic, with minimalist white décor, air conditioning, and full kitchens.
Honeymoon Favorite – Antigua
Located just south of another popular Caribbean travel destination of Barbuda, Antigua markets itself as a luxury Caribbean travel escape. Its many hotels and resorts located around the coastline are all favorites when it comes to honeymooning while on a Caribbean travel.
While you don’t have to be on your honeymoon to enjoy Antigua’s island charm, the Cocobay Resort’s location on a hillside facing the Caribbean Sea makes for a very romantic atmosphere. The idyllic hotel is made of 47 Creole-style cottages in soft pastel hues with rates that are very affordable at $240.
Hybrid Beat – Bahamas
If you want a decidedly patrician vibe during your Caribbean travel vacation, then the Landing, a seven-room inn on Harbour Island is exactly for you. There are no televisions, no phones, or Internet connections – things that distract you from the sheer beauty of the beach a few blocks away. And for only $240, you can get one of the bay-view rooms, which offer the best views of the harbor and comes with crisp white linens, terraces, and four-poster beds.

Atlanta Georgia and Its History
Brought to you by http://atlantageorgia.articleinfomart.com/
As stories have revealed, the city of Atlanta was first founded in 1837 as the end of the Western and Atlantic railroad line. It was born with its first name, Marthasville in honor of the then-governor’s daughter. The city was also nicknamed Terminus for its rail location, and then changed soon to Atlanta, which means the ‘feminine’ of Atlantic – as in the railroad.
Atlanta, since its beginning, is a fast growing city. Today, it remains as one of the most well-known transportation hubs, not just in the United States but in the whole world. As you may know, the Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport is one of the country’s busiest in daily passenger flights. In fact, several direct flights to South America, Europe and Asia have transformed metro Atlanta easily reachable to the over 1,000 international businesses that have been operating in the city. Those flights are even what made the more than 50 countries that have representation in the city through consulates, trade offices, and chambers of commerce accessible. With all these developments, it’s no wonder that the city became a banking center and is highly considered these days as the world headquarters for 13 Fortune 500 companies.
For more than four decades, the city of Atlanta has been significantly associated to the civil rights movement. It was noted the Civil Rights leaders during the early days have moved forward, and they were the visionaries who saw a new south, which is the new Atlanta. With a strong belief in peace, they made monumental sacrifices for that peace, and it is them who are responsible for Atlanta’s rise. They have lifted the city into a fast-pace modern city which opened its doors to the victorious and successful 1996 Olympics.
It is interesting to know that throughout the history of the city, the die hard Southerners view the place as the heart of the Old Confederacy. Because of this notion, Atlanta has become the best example of the New South – a fast-paced modern community that stood proud of its heritage.
Two decades ago, Atlanta has undergone unprecedented growth. That time, the population of the official city remains suspended, at about 420,000. However, the metro population has grown in the past decade by nearly 40 percent, from 2.9 million to 4.1 million inhabitants. As the city had claimed, a good measure of this development is the ever changing downtown skyline, along with skyscrapers constructed in the Midtown, Buckhead, as well as the outer perimeter business districts.
Since the late 1970s, dozens of incredible skyscrapers designed and developed but luminaries such as Philip Johnson, I. M. Pel, and Marcel Breuer have reshaped the city’s profile. Atlanta is now deemed as the Capital city of the southeast, a city of the future with strong bonds to its past.
The old in new Atlanta is now well-known throughout the world as the soul of the city, the heritage that improves the quality of life in a contemporary community. It is further interesting to know that during the turbulent 60s, the city was known as “the city too busy to hate”, but today, in the 21st century, Atlanta is “the city not too busy to care”.

Kauai Hawaii for Less
Brought to you by http://kauaivacations.articleinfomart.com/
Known as Hawaii’s Garden Isle, Kauai Island features lots of different adventure activities for both the young and the young at heart. The Kauai activities range from exciting water and surf activities, hiking a steep mountain trail, to camping in a remote valley. Or if you want enjoyable Kauai activities that are equally fun but are less strenuous, then try their Golf and helicopter flights, snorkeling, leisurely kayaking, and short, easy hikes. You can even rent a motorcycle for a proper island adventure tour around the island.
The island of Kauai is just the right size to allow you to do all these Kauai activities from different locations even as you stay in one single accommodation and you travel on a budget. However, with development coming to the island in giant steps, more hotels, condos, and timeshare properties are cropping up along with more tour companies offering more activities. All these come at a cost, of course. So what happens now to your meticulously planned Kauai budget travel?
No worries, because the best activities on the Garden Isle are still free or nearly so.
On this site are our favorites http://kauaivacations.articleinfomart.com/
