Beach Combers and Hidden Gold in Pier Poles
While digging at the shore, beach combers extract coins and valuables from sand holes around pier piles. They risk long hours, heavy work, and shifting tides to recover surface and deeper finds near two rich pole-line locations, including a tale of two young lovers and lost gold. The article notes the persistence and profit of the summer diggers and describes how tides, holes, and the iron pier create chances to reclaim items swept into sea pockets.

Speaking to the Deaf Shows Speech Clarity Matters
John Dutton Wright argues in Century that natural fluent speech is easier to understand for deaf readers than exaggerated articulation. He cites a congenitally deaf girl whose speech becomes clear to strangers after minutes and a well-spoken young man who tours and makes acquaintances easily.

Mounds of South Dakota Seek Hidden Ancient Frontiers
An expedition reports locating two mound fields and a well preserved fortification along the Missouri River in South Dakota. The larger field near Grand River covers 84 mounds over 800,000 square feet with a 175 foot rise, while a second Walworth County field holds about 60 mounds with arrows, pottery, and stone tools. A nearby fortification reveals earthworks, entrances, and kitchen areas, and human remains were found in trenches. The discovery draws archaeologist interest for prehistoric cultures.
