My back is killing me after this one.

Shortly after finding the Skull and Masonic rings by the Lighthouse I made 7 more trips to clear the area.

This is what I removed

This is my compensation

Every time I go I ask the Rangers if its ok. Maybe they changed their mind after seeing all the trash that is removed and let Treasure Hunters in to help keep the area clean. Plus they have even seen me filling holes in the water because I hate falling in them myself and don't want someone getting hurt or complain.

Terrific video, Miami Fox:hello2:

I like that clear , green water....so different from what I'm hunting in up here in CT.

I truly enjoyed trying to guess what each treasure was inside the scoop as you were recovering them.

Congrats on the beautiful gold , silver, and Platinum treasure finds.

It's called the Howie Scoop. I'm not sure if Howie is still making them. They are hand made by him here in South Florida. It's all aluminum and very light

The current gets pretty strong. That's where I temporarily lost my floating pouch with my wallet and car keys and someone found it 100 yards away.

I presume you keep a sharp eye out for silver in those clad coins. In case you don't - It comes out of the sea looking very toasted! Especially the 40% coins! Tap any encrusted ones, on there edge gently with a hammer. Might find some earlier coins . good luck

Yes I check and the closest I got was a 1966 quarter. But I want to point out that just after I found the 1946 wheat penny my fingers turned orange from rubbing it.
