Just put the story on the banner thread......im gearing up depending on how I feel after today's dental implants....not sure how much recovery time I'll need but its a great excuse for me to ditch work and do some medical leave treasure hunting !!

Just caught the write up, impatient me once again. Best of luck today.

Oh ouch!

The mrs tried that out a few years back, the socket bone wasted and $3K down the drain-plus the pain.

Damn freezing did zilch on me-I always needed to be knocked out for any major work to be done.

The other cool thing is I would never have met this guy if it wasn't for the mahogany business. We have some great trees we harvested from this property. So excited to have another shot at a good spanish site !!

 

[Blak bart]

Had a banner week in mahogany sales too. Shipping some boards to a live edge artist in Seattle, and sold the rest of the boards to a local artist here in town. Now I have a giant bar top build coming up soon. Starting to get some bigger paydays out of our older dried material. Life is good at the moment.

Gmorn all, Thinking about Spanish silver, I wonder how much stuff has been found by the REA linemen?
There use to be a guy here when I was young and I recall him showing off a few different artifacts that he found when putting in or replacing power poles. It was a common thing on saturdays at barber shop or the bar to see that kind of thing.
So now days whenever I see a crew putting in a pole I try and stop in ask if they had seen or had the luck, just guessing but about half have have a story about someone finding something.
I’m going to try onion pie for supper tonight, have a great day everybody....

Thats interesting fat.....jose was the boss on this road crew, and he was a pretty sharp guy when it came to this subject. He had made some good dollars on bottles that he dug while at work. He dug into an old bottle dump in key west and had enough sense to go back and dig a bunch of case gin bottles like islamoradamark found at our dig. He said he dug about 35 and sold them at 250 -350 each. He had alot of knick nacks on the dash of his truck also....all things he dug. He was amazed at the coins, and I may have created a new metaldetectorist. It would not surprise me if he gets a machine after witnessing our finds !!

I would say that white dog has a “mud eating grin” they always have muddy feet in my life..

I'll be honest with you guys.....I want to get in the water and continue where I left off last summer with islamoradamark.....we made a real substantial find on our last dive.....I don't doubt that I'll find spanish treasure at this site....just got to get back in the water and make it happen. No one has ever pounded this spot like were gonna, and no one ever knew there was a third ballast mound here. Mark and I were the first to find it and its probably a real big deal. I've been thinking about this spot all winter. When I passed the machine over it I get alot of grumbling and mumbling iron tones. Something awaits us here and inshore of this site. 24000 missing pesos here....thats a large fortune in today's numbers and im planning on getting at least some of it. So far its just been olive jar shards at 10-30 $ apiece. Also im narrowing an area down on some gold ones.....im close enough to start searching and was even scouting this winter with my customers while on snorkeling charters. I've got this one narrowed down to about a football feild sized area. 2 beautiful spanish gold were found here in one morning by a snorkeler. I think there are alot of gold ones here to be finding them by eyeball....hopeing for a substantial amount.

They seem to be using Gary a little more this year. I like that. What did they say about the coal? I got a phone call and missed it.
