Back From Cruise

[Les West Central Fl]

Went on a short cruise with friends and wife. Lots of targets in the water but unfortunately most were pull tabs, foil packets and pieces of aluminum. I did find a 14KT. earring with small stones, a 5.6gr. 10KT. gold band and an OP ankle bracelet, a s/s ring, several silver rings and toe rings, also a fake replica of an old coin.

Great finds Les! Sounds like you had a great time. I bet that fake coin sure gave you a rush.

Great job Les. I bet your heart skipped a beat when you first saw that coin. Did you have any problems getting the detector on and off the ship? I'm going to Nassau at the end of the year and was gonna try to find a beach to get some hunting in. Are there any cruise lines that anyone knows of that don't allow detectors? Thanks for any info. biggmike

I have never had a problem with Royal Caribbean. I hand carry mine in and had no problem taking it off the ship in any of the ports. I also hand carried my detector on Carnival, no problem.

Les Cool finds and thanks for the info on carry on Detector.
Another note of importance on travel and equipment!.... An old timer in my club had a heads up about a treasure hunter having trouble with his battery pack on an airline, so he decided to take a brochure with pictures of his detector and battery pack. They did detain him in isolation and the pictures and brochure seemed to have saved him alot of aggravation!
On the fake coin did it have a "copy" stamp on the back? like the one I just found? Someone I.D. it as a Spanish Reale 1700s
