spanish treasure finds

All of these finds came from different beaches opposite Spanish wrecks along the Treasure Coast of Florida. These finds represent a lot of walking and hard work searching for, sometimes going hours between signals but I think you will agree that it was time well spent.

Ye wonders if there is much left. I can imagine it took years to just find that amount!:metaldetector:

Fantastic. That is real Treasure.
Digging up stuff like that, with the history involved, kind of makes your skin crawl, doesn't it?

Just think what you could have got with a Tesoro Gary ! Anyway I got a Blisstool on the beach yesterday for a really good test and am still sticking to what I already have. Didn't get your e-mail you promised by the way. My U.S. trip looks like it will now be Arizona rather than Florida unfortunately so not likely to get my feet wet !

My father-in-law lives on Vero Beach. Next time my wife and I visit, I plan to swing a coil.
