How would you feel if I came here and gloated the next time a Category 5 hurricane hit the coast of Florida. What's your problem?

In six weeks, I'll be digging coins and relics from the 1700's. In six weeks, you boys will still be digging 1950's wheaties and doing a happy dance. "Wow, a coin from the 1950's, that's old!"LOL!

Depends. Ponce De Leon was in Florida 100 years before Pilgrims hit Plymouth Rock (1620). South US and Caribbean was direct direct trade route with Spain, Portugal and more gold than NE ever seen. Aztecs, Incas had more gold than all northern Indian tribes combined. We have the pirate booty as well since they sailed tropic waters. So go ahead. Let's talk old.

Shipwrecks on the bottom of the ocean are out of the reach of your average detectorist. There are hundreds of shipwrecks off the New England coast, but getting to them and recovering the relics is WAY too cost prohibitive for the average person.

*Goes to Florida after the hurricane - finds the entire perfectly preserved 1715 treasure galleon Maria Galante washed ashore - bullion and gold coins spilling out the sides*

Who said shipwrecks? Florida was settled by Europeans before NE had it's first English settlement. St Augustine is the oldest city in the US. (1516). History dictates many treasures washed up and found on Florida coastlines, which has the longest coastline in the 48 contiguous US states. Florida is a treasure trove of historic and archaeological finds. They have even found families dating back 7,000 years. http://www.metaldetectingworld.com/07_photogallery/singles/conductive_order.jpg

There are plenty of treasures in Florida beyond "1950s wheaties". And if you don't believe "I" can find coins from the 1700s, Google the "State of Franklin" that was almost recognized as a US state in 1784. I live in the city that was the capital of Franklin. Davy Crockett was born 10 miles from me in 1786 in the state of Franklin. Yep, there's plenty of history and just as many old coins here.

lol........been through about 8 hurricanes down there. Last 4 were beer parties. If you do go right after a 'cane, take a large stick to bat all the crabs out of the way. They seek high ground during the event, and are out everywhere after it.

Spain would just try to claim it.
Which would really be funny...
For the way it is on the beaches over there...
It would be picked clean within an hour. heh

Agreed... Florida was around and active with Europeans 100 years before anywhere else in America... Heh... ALL of North America.
Florida is "the real beginning of America".

FBT no insults allowed, you have issue with members post please report it, don't insult or attack the member... There is also nothing wrong with GIB's post either, it is a snow storm, I have been through many blizzards myself including driving 1500 miles in the middle of the blizzard of 1978.....

Is it snow? I thought it was sand, like a take on the Planet of the Apes when they see the Statue of Liberty sticking out of the sand beach.

I'm from Florida, could someone please explain what this means?


View attachment 1264075

It means that for the "winter" your living in the right place, but come summer those hurricanes will kick you butt,??? or you could just live on the southwest coast of California and only need to worry about occasional earth quakes. :icon_scratch:
