Cptbil: I hear that there is a section of beach...about 10 miles long...  where you can find either, 1553 or 1554 Spanish Silver Coins! AND!That they sell for $1000-$2000 each!  depending on condition? Have you been there ? |

Hey new to the site love it. Was looking for a new hobby and this looks like the one. I live in Ingleside Tx. next to C.C. and would like to know when you are coming down maybe join in. Are the coins you are talking about maybe from the 4 or 5 Spanish ships that went down in the 1500's.

What day? Like I said new just getting started don't have a detector yet. Also see you are a diver I want to get my cert. Was going to until my boat sank. Trying to get all title stuff settled and ins. paying it off and giving it back. It is a 29ft welcraft. Might sell it cheep just to pay for 5 months of storage at dry dock. Let me know if you know anyone needing one.

Speedyshark:
It all depends on when you are available?
Are you able to go during the week days?
"Fred", a friend & neighbor, will be going along too!

SpeedyShark: I DO KNOW! A person who is looking for a boat! Drop me a "PM" ("Private mesage") ! for more info! I am waitting for the weather to settle, before venturing down the coast! BUT! The best time to go, will be on a week day! Probably won't be for a couple of weeks ! I am moving some of my camping equipment/tools, etc, down to the other house And, I'm doing some other exciting/interesting chores! |

Cptbil, Bugs, & Duke,
I live in Portland, TX. 15 miles from St. Joe. I already have the CZ-20, boat, and wet suit. I'll be obtaining my SUBA cert in Feb. I would love to join in the hunt.
