This was at "Half Reale Beach" a famous 1715 wreck beach. I nailed a piece of the Challenger Space Shuttle crash from 1986 - using MXT Pro with 12" coil

How's that for a relic?

Ironic that you recover a piece of the Challenger, just a few weeks out of the 30th anniversary, or close to that. Funny how things work. Casper, is returning such items a required directive of nasa via by laws or the such?

I'm sure that if you asked enough NASA rep's about this, I'm sure that you could find someone to tell you "no, you can't keep it". And for that matter, the same can be said of probably anything we find, anywhere. But seriously now, did anyone really care? Is anyone still out there looking for debri, or thinking to themselves "gee, I wonder if md'rs might find some bolt or screw?". If you asked around enough, I'm sure you'd find someone to say "you can't keep that". But it would probably be an issue of "no one cared, ... TILL you asked" routine.

Piece of shuttle? What piece of shuttle? LOL

If they want it they are more than welcome to it, but they can come here and get it.

Yes !!! The MXT Pro works well on wet sand. I do have the toggle in salt mode and turn the sensitivity to about 70-80. Much like my M6, the wet sand just doesn't phase it.

I do care, maybe due to watching every shuttle launch as youth with the grandparents, and the question inquired was more geared specifically toward shuttle debris. I understand the ask around enough, and obviously someone will direct a return to owner statement. My inquiry was for personal knowledge of such an item. Nothing more, but I appreciate the reply, I should have worded it differently.

Just out of curiosity, which beach is Jenson? Yesterday I worked Wa basso from 7-10 AM and stopped at Ambersands on that home, but the wet sand was like mush.

Ok - you'll never see me South of Sea Grape or maybe Turtle Trail in Vero Beach, I will be using a Whites and slightly resemble a linebacker. If you see me say hello ... I love talking to other coil swingers

I indeed will, enjoyable to meet others even if they don't swing. I don't get up past pepper park/ frog museum to much and more apt to be at a park during the winter months. But I often get the must goto beach feeling, this week it paid off.

I've found a few pieces that look to be melted titanium up that way haven't detected the steakhouse much... Interesting spot many believe it be to be the final resting place of a keelboat loaded down trying to make it to St Augustine from the site of one of the wrecks to the south.
Looking at that cut makes me feel bad about the current conditions it looks like the middle of summer out there.

I would easily take 6 to 8 feet from the right direction just lasting a little while everything we got so far this season has been basically short then changed around from the other direction it's like we're just pushing the same material back and forth

Tell me about it - I watched the same piece of driftwood basically sit in the same spot at Ambersands Beach for close to a month!
