If you could find ONE thing, what would it be...

I have found everything I could ever dream of in the last 47-years, except a Spanish Reale. Gold coins, Civil War belt plates, Silver dollars, diamond rings, but no Spanish Silver.:dontknow:
 

Don't want much - 1915 Panama Pacific Exposition $50 Gold Coin :laughing7:
pan-pac.webp
 

You saw my list... Now here is reality...

Coin = Chuck E Cheese Token.

Relic = half of a semi modern key.

Jewelry = Magnetic beaded bracelet on stretchy string... with a dangly Queen emblem that is plastic.

:P

Listen... everyone always makes three wishes... and then that's it.

Never could figure out why everyone wouldn't make just ONE wish...

a million more wishes would be my single wish :P
 

Spanish Gold doubloons ! But I’m not picky, $20 US gold pieces would be OK !

Terry thats awsome.....thats totally possible for you and your way overdue !! You'll be posting one up soon !!
 

I only look for artifacts but if I saw an old coin, jewelry,
or anything like that I would happily pick it up. I have a friend who walks the beach every morning and has found a nice spanish coin along with the beach glass
she collects.
 

The Hope Diamond.

You don't want that diamond... I heard its cursed.

Of course there is a curse associated with several large stones.

I can tell you a few things about the Hope Diamond... LIKE.... Shine an ultraviolet light on the Hope Diamond and the gem will glow red / orange for about five minutes.

Documented even.

There are 10 deaths associated with the Hope as well.

So... My advice would be...

You better pick another stone to find :)
 

Coin: Fugio cent (I'd still be happy with ANY large US Cent - found a Canadian). Franklin was a man I admire a great deal.

Relic: Bronze cannon. (Wheeeee!)

Jewelry: Any nice emerald set in gold.
 

Silver quarter. Thirteen years detecting, haven’t found one yet. It’s not that I haven’t found anything old, or valuable, I have found silver coins, a silver thimble and three 24k necklaces but a plain old silver quarter has just eluded me.

Coin $20 St Gaudens gold piece

Relic Civil war era Virginia officers Sword belt plate....Sic Siemper Tyrannus

Relic: a mostly intact bonze age tool, preserved somehow.

Jewelry: A Mayan or Inca gold piece.
