Greenies, crusties,brownies,and relics

[Blak bart]

Couple hunts combined into one post. Weather has made the water cloudy alot, so im in the wet and dry sand. Been wandering around the shorelines down in the lower keys !!

Greenies !!

Crusties !!

Brownies !!

bullets and shells

Relics !!

Buffalo nickel, war nickel, wheat cent !!

Ships fasteners, and aluminum nuggets !!

A tiny portion of the trash. The weather is nice, and the seaweed is blowing offshore now....beautiful day at a new spot for me yesterday.

There are always other treasures to be discovered in the bush and I found this one last week hiding from since irma....the raccoons were living in there, so I didn't mess with it.....ill return and strip some bronze off this thing including the bronze running lights !!

Some nice adventures exploring latley, and looking forward to some more this fall !! Haven't found any old spanish treasure but I'm tracking leads down here !! Happy hunting folks !!

Some favorites from these 2 hunts

Buttons and zipper pulls.

Mystery item....possible bridal Rosette?? I'm not sure at all...copper over lead ??

Possible clock parts...?? Not sure on this either ??

Fused coins on coral rock....and a penny with a iron nail, and glass fused to it....talk about trashy areas !!

even a suspender clip...not sure about the hook like item...but the bottom left is part of a fishing rod guide !! There was the plated fork, and an oil lamp wick adjuster also !!

Lots of digging Bart.
Question with the crusty ones-leave or beat them to clean?
How do you clean them?

I leave them.....almost every one of the crusties is a zincolin !! I throw them in a giant old treasure chest.....its almost full after about 4-5 years worth of crusty clad !! One day ill bury the whole kit and kaboodle at one of the 1715 beaches !!

I bet that sucker weighs 75 pounds already, and it has 20 more pounds to go !!

That would be a cool treasure to bury in a big old "Heavy" chest.

In our bottle digging frenzy days we acquired so many of the common ones (all the early machine made ones), that we dug this pit in the back yard.
600-800 bottles (forget the exact #) were laid down carefully in the pit, then covered over.
My dad built the new shed on top of the pit.
So probably some year in the future somebody will be going when they unearth the stash.

Ya....every next hole could be a piece of eight....ya just never know down here !!

Great collection of finds Bart, Congrats! Like the treasure chest idea! You should also create a map of the treasure's location and put it in a sealed bottle and place it on a beach somewhere, but I guess I'm suggesting littering!

So its a giant treasure chest of coins and jewelry !! The absolute best.....of my worst finds !! Ill take a pic....if I can even lift it ?? !!
