SO I found this today on the beach in the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick Canada.....the tide starting coming up fast. Any clue as to what type of chest this is? IMG_20150713_152805.jpg

No the tide comes in pretty fast there. by now it is about 30 feet of water over it now. I did some research and Captain kid went through the Bay of Fundy several times....I feel like a big kid getting his hopes up lol.

There is no chest. There's nothing there. You never started this post. You can't even speak English. Have the mods delete this post until you confirm, confirm, confiirm! :laughing7: Wishing you the best luck.

lol I really did find this today.
No you didn't. I'm serious. Take my word for it. I know how exciting something like this may seem, too good to be true, but chances are it may be the real thing. If it is, keep it to yourself.

And when u go back, bring 2 lookouts, 4-5 armed guards and your Attorney. And just to be safe...have someone create a diversion on the other side of town. 😱 A getaway boat would help , too.

Is that yellow sand?
I think you are going to need a rather large can-opener.

I have navigated a lot of ships up that bay, and man are those tidal ranges big, and currents swift. There's a good chance it's a steamer trunk and could be pretty old. Dig that sucker up and you may be surprised with what you find!

Good luck.
