Most People Don’t Know: The FIFTH Treasure that's Hiding In Massachusetts

Short Beach and Grover’s Cliff, Winthrop

Many Spanish and British coins dating from the eighteenth century have been found on the beach between Short Beach and Grover’s Cliff. The coins are probably from the many vessels that have wrecked along the north side of Boston Harbor. Who knows how many hidden coins (and other treasures) are still buried in the sands?

Located on the north side of Boston Harbor. The coins are most likely from the many vessels that have wrecked in the harbor.

Grovers Cliff is a shoreline escarpment at Broad Sound near the Port of Boston and by extension, the landform extending into the sea (headland) that is the "Highlands" section of Winthrop, Massachusetts.[2] The headland is at the north end of Winthrop Beach[2] and is noted for an 1847 survey station,[3] WWI & II fortifications and a Cold War nuclear bunker used by the US Army, USCG, USN, USAF, and FAA as Fort Heath, the eponym of the landform's current apartment complex. A northern area of the headland is the municipal Small Park and the remainder is primarily the Fort Heath Apartments. Streets include Highland Avenue and Pond Street which had been constructed by the 1930s at the perimeter of Fort Heath.

@1630Boston ....Thank you for another interesting 'treasure' post ....Massachusetts certainly has the history, and now we know, also treasures from that period. Cheers, RickO

.This is what it looked like circa 1961, the largest building I believe is a 'Nuclear Bunker'

This is what it looks like now.
