Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
Hello friends ... for four days the sea with waves two meters high and very agitated, could not be detected correctly and performance disminulle .... is reassuring in a few days and may re-detect (the tides and cycles of time are typical of the Mediterranean in summer and the boats were shipwrecked ....)
y hunter still a few things ... a silver medal in the nineteenth century, a silver ring and it seems a strange military medal but not around here (would appreciate it if someone can identify) some coins the more recent years.

Greetings!

Nice finds, and I didn't know that baby could talk either :D
 
I think your military thing is a load tag for the quartermaster in u.s.air force. but that is a guess.
 
sweet finds man :thumbsup:

No real idea about the tag, but don't think its american, more like english

I was in Tripoli, Libya back in the mid 1960s on the south shore of the Mediterranean and the water was as clear as a bell. You could read a newspaper at 30 feet close in close to shore. There wasn't much of a tide as I recall and the surface was like glass. The salt content was so high that it was much like the Great Salt Lake. A pair of fins and a snorkel and you could stay afloat all day. We didn't have metal detectors then but we eyeballed and salvaged thousands of rounds of 6.5 and 6mm Italian cartridges off the reef. They were just laying loose everywhere. Also it wasn't unusual for someone to find a dud bomb that the Allies dropped on the retreating Germans and Italians in early WWII. They'd close the beaches and the EOD team would rush out and distroy it with plastique. Most of the time it just came apart but occasionally one would blow up and it would make a heck of a geyser and loud boom! I was in the USAF stationed at Wheelus AFB. Monty
