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:

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.

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

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 :)

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: A piece of eight, or a gold coin. I've hit one bucket lister during a UK trip and found a Roman coin. I've prospected gold nuggets, but I've never dug a gold coin.

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

Jewelry: A Mayan or Inca gold piece.
