Book excerpt: Gold doubloon found on the beach. If you were just strolling down the beach or snorkeling and spotted an object in the sand that was glinting in the water-filtered sunlight, would you pick it up? Obviously you would, and when you did, you find it to be an ancient gold coin just like you have seen in photos and jewelry stores. Your mind races, your heart beats at twice the normal rate as you clutch it in your hand. You know it's worth a huge amount of money, and you know a little bit about pirate treasure rumored to be in Southwest Florida waters and buried about the land. Your first thought is, are there any other coins about, as you visually scan the area. If you announce that you found a gold coin the other people on the beach will mob you and your little private area. You decide to conceal the coin, keep quiet and look around quickly for other coins before others find out. As you quickly shift the sand about with your hand you are thinking as fast as your mind will go. Read Bob's fictional Novel Trove.
