I posted in the Treasure code thread but just am so excited wanted to start my own about Todays Find for me :)

Ive been looking and looking. My eyes HURT! It is the code for this prize
Spanish Piece of Eight Treasure Coin

Ive never had a great find but this just makes my year! So many pages and links and everything to look through. Ended up finding it by doing some research and searching for keywords from what I found out. Im a little nervous since I havent gotten a reply from the message I sent the contest admin about the find but I sent it 4 times(sorry just sooo excited)

Just wanted to let everyone know that they can be found. Still another nice coin to be found!

Ive got the link copied. I will post it as soon as I get the reply and confirmation. Still havent gotten a reply. Maybe they are at lunch.

It was not the big golden treasure code symbol and it wasn't a bunch of numbers and letter as a link. However, it DID say treasure code under the little symbol they had for it.

Hmmm. Still havent gotten a reply and the treasure code still shows active. And when I go back and click on the symbol it still comes up with the Congrats page. Ive sent it several times. Should I be worried? Or do you think they are probably at lunch and havent gotten to them yet? Just wondering what happens if someone else finds it and clicks on it while its still active?

Gypsy- I sent a PM to Marc from his post in the other treasure code thread. How do I PM Jeff? Searched for Jeff under messages but the only Jeff that came up was a newbie? Thanks.

Still the other coin and the pinpointer out there. Anyone else still looking?

Oh yeah ;)

Heres the link to the page.

How I found it.
I researched the coin. Found out about the Atocha (the ship that sank with the coins)
searched many pages in the archived shipwreck forum and finally found the right page. Code is in the bottom left corner of the page.


http://www.treasurenet.com/forum/tr...shipwrecks/19980309/messages/9606270710.shtml

the treasure code link is still showing active for me. So nobody get hopes up as its already been won ;)

Like the contest page said - it might just be a link! If I made them all look the same - some geek would find a way to scan for them!

There is still one ROMAN coin out there! Good luck!

Well, I hope nobody hates me BUT.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................I JUST FOUND THE CODE FOR THE SECOND COIN!!!!!!!!!!

Ive been searching for about 12 hours straight now and didnt stop after finding the first one. Sat here at lunch with a sandwich in one hand and the mouse in the other. Im very excited as Ive never EVER won anything in my entire life. Ive been metal detecing since January and have so far found 1 wheat penny(have found clad). Had back surgery two months ago and havent been able to get out so Ive been really bummed. This has really lifted my spirits.

But, I hope no one gets upset that I found two of them. Its it makes you feel any better, I now have a pounding headache from looking at the screen and my eyes are burning. My bottom probably hurts but its so numb I cant feel it anymore.
