Wednesday Word Search – Sat

Welcome to another Wednesday Word Search where I pick a word and share some of the images I find in an image search of the blog.

Awhile back I searched for ‘hat’ and ‘bat’ so started a theme of ‘?at’ words. Last week I searched for ‘rat’ so will continue on.

The word for tonight is: Sat

Sat should be interesting. The string ‘sat’ is in some interesting words.

What images will I find?

Dr. D. G. Sattler, Dwight G. Sattler, Doctor, Anatomist, Kalona, IowaWith the first image I will start from the beginning with the doctor who brought me into the world. Here is Dr. Sattler.

Trina's Tea Kettle, Boutique, Loose Tea, Pomegranate Oolong tea, Tea ShopFor the next image here is my Saturday tea towel. I have a complete set of Amish tea towels made for me by my Mom.

Jerusalem old city, quiet streets, Jerusalem, Night, closed shopsThis picture was titled Saturday Night in Old Jerusalem. Shops have closed down for the day and they are waiting for all the debris to be cleaned up. It is a bit interesting to walk through the streets of Old Jerusalem after the shops close.

Henry County Iowa, Trenton Township, Absalom Leeper, Iowa, ancestorIn writings about genealogy and family history I will often share satellite images from Google Maps to illustrate where ancestors lived. Here is where some of my Leeper ancestors lived near Trenton, Iowa.

Saturn SC, General Motors, Cars, New CarsFinally we have a picture of me with my old Saturn SC. I bought this car when I lived in Ohio for a short time and drove it for many years while I had a company vehicles and didn’t drive much. It finally ended up in California after finally being worn out while commuting.

These images show that ‘sat’ is found in some interesting words.

Which is your favorite ‘sat’ picture?

What should I search for next? I will probably continue with the next ?at word.   I took a quick look and I have a lot of interesting images for ‘tat’ to choose from.

Gold at Oak Island?

Season 9 of The Curse of Oak Island is well underway. The episode tonight was interesting as they showed some of the research that has been done on some metal objects found in the Money Pit area. Curse of Oak Island, History Channel, Did they find anything?Pieces of metal have shown evidence of small amounts of gold when analyzed and further analysis has confirmed this. The composition of the gold residue may also point to gold from Mesoamerica.

Oak Island, Money Pit, National Geographic, Curse of Oak IslandThe drilling survey in the Money Pit area has continued and is finding interesting evidence about the old tunnels. Bits and pieces of old timber is showing up and they are busy piecing together the location of tunnels.

This year there are more regulatory approvals needed for excavations and in many parts of the island it will be more like an archaeological dig than a treasure hunt. As more is found out about the island more attention is being paid to documenting the history and not losing anything of cultural importance. Tonight they showed the finding of First Nations pottery that is putting a hold on investigations in the swamp. I am sure we will hear more about this in the next few episodes.

Curse of Oak Island, Mahone Bay, Nova ScotiaThey may need to focus on other areas of the island for awhile as negotiations and investigations with the cultural authorities continue.

The area where the First Nations items were found are at the eastern edge of the swamp and this is an area they are really interested in as they try and follow the direction of the stone road that was found last year.

I am still waiting for them to give an update on the lead seal that was found near the end of last season, but it has not mentioned at all this year. See: Oak Island Lead Seal Thoughts

The preview for the next episode shows more excitement of finds in the drilling program, including some more evidence of gold. Definitely some interesting things to come.
