The Dane in Florida !!!

[TheDane]

All right guys !

Now as promised a report from me.

I brought my laptop with me to Florida, and I can now bring you the first report from here.
This is an absolutely wonderful state, and I had the chance to detect a bit.
Here is my report so far:

On the 10th I purchased a new Tesoro Vaquero from JR-Detectors. JR even brought me the detector personaly to my hotel.
A very clean deal, and a very friendly and enthusiastic man.
Thank you Jeff !

A couple of days later we hit Cocoa beach, but I only had about 20 minutes of search there.
I got 3 cents and a toy car !

Not much, but OK for starters.

Then we went down to Miami (North Beach).
I got much more time to seach here, and I have already found some interesting things.

Here some pictures from the firs seach of the day:

The sun glasses are of the mark "Bellini" does that mean anyting to you ?

Here an ear something, I think silver with stones. The upper one is I think an amethyst. The large one I don´t know, shines blue, when you turn it.

Second seach: That car is going back to nature. It has been disposed of, but I thought you should see it.
By the way, what to do with the keys. Should I hand them over to the desk clerk at the hotel. I have no use for them !

So far my report for now. Hope you liked the pictures.

Thank you
TheDane

Looks like you are having lots of fun with your new machine
Could that large stone on the ear thing be a moonstone?

Welcome to our sunny(sometimes!) state ! Good luck hunting, and remember the sunscreen!

Nice report and glad you are enjoying Florida.I'm headed there in a few weeks. It is my favorite place to visit! Yes the large stone looks to be a moonstone for sure.

 

[TheDane]

Thank you guys !

Tomorrow we go here from Miami down to Key West, and we´ll have one full day there till it goes back to Key Largo.
I hope to get a chance to search the beach at Key West. Anybody with experience from there ?

Todays search here at Miami Beach gave about $1.50. No juwelry or other sensations !

I´ll be back !

Hope I do as well as you did

Hi again guys

We came to Fort Myers Beach two days ago, and I had the chance to detect a couple of times here.
The beach is real awsome, air 90, water 91 and also something to find.

A cell phone, a key, a lot of change and MILLIONS of pull tabs.
And then a crematory tag of some kind ?? What is that doing on a beach ?

Here some pictures:

Steen, sorry I missed this post. I was in Florida from the 16th to the 26th. We could have hooked up. I was close to the Space Center near Cocoa Beach. Too bad we missed each other.

[TheDane]

Wow DM, what a pitty.
I didn´t know that. What a shame, could have been fun.

Maybe an other time ?

I am now back in Denmark after a fantastic holiday in Florida.

During the week at Fort Myers Beach a detectorist from the north-east of the USA talked to me on the beach, he hadn´t brought his detector on his holiday thou.
So I thought I would actually go thou my holidays without seeing any detektorists.
On the last evening i packed in my detector as we had to travel early in the morning.
In the morning when I looked out the window I actually saw two guys detecting the beach. I went and talked to them. Very nice guys and fun to talk to them. I also showed them my finds.

Here now the last picture in this post from me:
To sum up the coins went to an amount of $16.82
Not much, but it was fun to find them.
Why don´t you folks in the US drop those 1 cents and make the Dollar and maybe the 5 Dollar into coins. Would be good for seachers !

Well, we do have the dollar coin. Both the Sacajawea/Native American and the Presidential dollar. I use them all the time, but the banks won't order them or make them available. I have to order mine directly from the mint (Direct Ship program - they pay the shipping).

I know DD...
I think I saw one of them in California three years ago.
But I guess it must be way too expensive continuing making all those small 1 cents ?
In my country the smallest coin is 50 ore, is about 9 cents and the largest coin, 20 Kroner, has a value of aprox. $3.7 !

Finding 10 of those on the beach is nice !

Since 1982 our Penny coins are made of Zinc, with a very thin overlay of copper.They are ok , until you get them wet, then they disolve!

after 82 i find cookies,lots of cookies

Nice report and I am glad you loved Florida, you got a danish hunting buddy anytime you are around the Pensacola area of Florida,

 

[pjdave]

Hi Dane. It was nice meeting you on Ft. Myers Beach. My brother and I were the two guys detecting the beach. I actually found a gold Spanish coin dated 1773. Even in the heat I got the chills. But alas, when I washed it off I saw the dreaded word "COPY". I also fixed my headphone jack. Good luck!

Hi pjdave !!

It was so nice meeting you two guys, I´m just sorry you didn´t show up some days before, could have been fun searching together with you.
Cheeesh, you almost gave me a heart attack talking about that Spanish gold coin, don´t do that again !
Would be interesting for me to know what you guys dug up on that beach, please show us some pictures !

Hope to meet you two again some time !
