Kentucky man finds over 700 Civil War-era coins buried in his cornfield

Cool story. Makes you wonder, bank robbers, wealthy folks hiding money or?
Thanks for sharing.

Could also be a payroll. Remember - it was buried during the Civil War. Maybe the Pay Master saw he was going to lose his payroll so he buried it, so the enemy wouldn't get it. And it got lost to time.

1962 Oldsmobile F-85 Jetfire Turbo Wagon

Exactly what is an Oldsmobile F-85 Jetfire wagon? Well, to start, it's a one-year-only, five-door spinoff of the 1961 Cutlass (F-85). And it bears the name "Jetfire," thanks to a 215-cubic-inch, 215-horsepower (300 lb-ft of torque), all-aluminum Oldsmobile Jetfire Turbo-Rocket V-8 engine that was designated exclusively for 1962/1963 F-85 sport coupes and convertibles, and 1962 station wagons. A BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission completed the unique cars' dynamic drivetrain.

I know I'm getting old because I'm really digging station wagons lately and it doesn't even embarrass me anymore..lol..

This is the stunning vaquita, the rarest animal in the world. Only 10 of them exist.

Quote:

The vaquita, also known as the Phocoena sinus, is a small porpoise that is native to the northern area of the Gulf of California. This divine sea creature can grow to be approximately five feet long and, when fully grown, weighs around 120 pounds. The animal has been on the endangered list for several years now, but concerns about its survival are growing. There were 600 vaquitas in 1997. The population dwindled to 30 in 2017, and today, there are thought to be only about 10 left. Environmentalists believe fishermen's use of gill nets is the reason behind the vaquita's increasing endangerment, Kingdoms TV reports.

Headlight Eybrows, Hmmm 🤔 never heard them called that but it suits them fine. Used to see them a lot back when I was young but that’s been quite some time ago!

NASA and Lockheed Martin are nearly finished with their supersonic test plane...

The space agency believes that the engine will allow the aircraft to fly without any sonic booms, to prove the feasibility of supersonic flights over cities, a requirement for getting commercial airlines supersonic flights over the USA, probably other countries as well, to drastically reduce travel time for those who can afford it

As part of the upcoming test, the plane will fly over several populated areas and specialists from the agency will gather information on how people react to sound.

People are expected to hear a soft popping sound, comparable in volume to the sound of a car door closing. The space agency will pass on the data it collects to international and US regulators in the hope of gaining approval for supersonic commercial flights over land.

I don't know why Mercury was so late in bringing this car to market. Chevy ended the Impala SS at the end of the 1996 model year. Mercury waited till 2003.
