Might be time to change up and go after some galleon treasures.....its hard to get away from the fresh drops when the swimming spots are so busy !! Only in the keys can I go to a beach where I could find a gold dobloon, a fresh dropped cuban link gold chain, a piece of Ambergris, and maybe a few kilos of cocaine and hash, All at the same spot.
Man ONLY IN AMERICA !!😅🤣😁

Here's a $545,722.50 chunk of change.

Pathologist finds €500,000 ‘floating gold’ in dead whale in Canary Islands

Team hope sale of block of rare ambergris, used by perfumers, will help victims of 2021 La Palma volcano

One has to admit (regarding drops and gold) that you live in a gift that just keeps giving.

Wait, the trade of ambergris is banned in the U.S.?

There seems to be a list of things that one has ran into at one time or other in life.

This list is the bend you over type services that gouge a person because you just need them.
Lawyers, Dentists, Veterinary services, and tree services.
Each can drain the account easily, and they do it without conscience.

So here's my gripe of the day, getting 15 trees cut, 5 trimmed (2-4 branches)
The magic number it seems to be $15,000.00 (give or take a few bucks on the quotes)

Pepper's solution rent an articulated 4x4 60' diesel boom for $3500++ and go at it for month.

Seriously pirates, it's only going 30 ft out and 60 ft up-in a cage with a chainsaw-really what can not go wrong-right?
There's going to be some bird angle pictures of different spots around the place.
Been using a chainsaw most of my life, and I never take it for granted that a tree will fall in the direction or how one really wants it to go.
Safety first

"In the US and Australia, possession of, or trade in, ambergris is banned.

In the US, sperm whales are protected under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, which prohibits the use of any product from an endangered species. However, ambergris is regarded as a bit of a ‘grey area’, being a waste product and thus capable of being ‘salvaged’ without needing to harm whales."

Maybe that's why the dealers I sent pictures of the ambergris I found never replied....

There are loop holes.....if placed in a nice dry spot and left in situ, technically a bahamian can possess, trade, and export it legally.....if the proper customs forms are used. Only U.S. citizens are not allowed to trade or be in possession of Ambergris. So yes the laws are rarely enforced, and buyers will fly in and purchase it.
