 ~The Cane Field Bandits~
Profit Island
Hi,
I'm Shane, I'm in Baton Rouge. I have collected coins for some time now and decided to try detecting in hopes of finding coins for my collection. I was told that a ship sank at the North side of Profit Island which is north of Baton Rouge in/on the Mississippi River.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to get on that island and if its legal to search there? Who knows there might be some interesting things in the sand there. Thanks for any info. Shane

Re: Profit Island
i hear that that boat was suppose to be being moved down river or something and they were going to use it for tourist attraction ( i think it was an old sailing vessel not 100% sure)
