Do you know what?
I don't have problem with somebody give me some advice, advice for me always are welcome, the issue is "what you pretend to be when you talk to". If your information are fact (from your point of view) then you have to respect my FACTS and other's fact because in this hobby everybody has the chances to learn and acquire experience. You said you from Puerto Rico, I from Puerto Rico too. You said you got friends which they're the 'best' in treasure hunting there?,...I got friend good treasure hunter too, so,...
My Fact is in base to prior experience (since 1987)in research, detecting in Puerto Rico and Mona island. If you or your 'friends' there has experience in Puerto Rico - Alleluia- but don't try to set me up in this thread with your facts pretending "tweak" my whole thread about Mona island and my experience treating with the Government in Puerto Rico.
Good luck

My take on lack of participants is the harsh reality of everyday 'responsibilities'. We have seemed to have gotten ourselves wrapped up in this bullcrap cycle called 'living' that even the prospects of stumbling on a multimillion dollar treasure would put most of us in the gutter. Treasure recovery is more than a hobby. In order to make some type of serious attempt to find 'the big one', you have to approach this discipline as a second job. I have the luxury of taking months at a time due to my line of work. And I keep a very basic lifestyle as to keep 'mobile'. Nothing or no one can hold me back (with the exception of God). Best wishes
As far as Mona goes, 'all is fair game' (to a point). My opinion is In order to make the expedition more effective an extended stay is called for perhaps 6 to 10 days. $1500 for a one day trip is not feasible.I think a good number of caches are deeper than the MDs capabilities. At some point an LRL might have to be used as this would cut search time significantly and they search deeper (10ft plus)My .02 cents

Re: Tr's hunter wanted for Caribbean Expedition
phrase said
Depend many facts, the MD,coil size, terrain condition,buried time of the cache, etc.
I had been going to Mona island since 80's and the most caches found, not even had been buried when they were found!!
Many of those cache that Historian tell has had been hidden inside caves or buried are reported as buried among 5' to 10' depth, maybe more, or less. To that depth a good MD with two box deep-seeker could hit a cache of 12"x 8"x10" full of coins. Others 'big' treasures has been reported "impossible" to be removed.
Also there is others treasure reported as "treasure Church's" where has been hidden inside a cave at the western side the island and demolished the entry with explosive.
The last report of some treasure found in Mona island it was recently when somebody found in a small cave Emerald inside a pocket with no metal detector, no LRL or whatever. it's just lucky!!!

Re: Tr's hunter wanted for Caribbean Expedition
Right. I was going to add that sometimes your just at the right place at the right time. I was at an Arecibo beach snokeling last year and found $20 bucks laying in 5 ft of water. I took that as a sign of the vast wealth of the island. About 15 seconds later I ran into a monster barracuda that was almost legendary amongst the locals. I opted for the $20.

Re: Tr's hunter wanted for Caribbean Expedition
The point is, Puerto Rico is World's best place to metal detecting in the beach and the surfing due the following:
1. The Puerto rican likes take on body gold when they go to the beach.
2. This hobby of metal detecting is not very practiced for many folks.
3. The funniest: many folk's behaviors is usually "third world country reaction" when they see somebody metal detecting.
4. The currency is US coins.
5. In the most places (except US National Park, i.g. El Yunke, EL Morro, San Cristobal.) you can metal detecting. If you're caught by some officer, Police, you won't be arrested,only they will ask you "what did you find?".
In Puerto Rico there is not such "extreme rules against detectorist" or those kind of treasure's lease that only a fews can afford it.

Re: Tr's hunter wanted for Caribbean Expedition
LOL.....yeah we have a 'third world attitude' about a lot of things. i got to be good friends with a pulpo diver down there in Parquera. He had sandwich bags of jewelry. Im getting my crap together this summer once and for all and Im gonna hit the island hard. I got a twenty foot sail catamaran Im prepping now for recovery/excursions. I can beach it anywhere and no gas expenses. I find them more practical than monohulls and with the rising price of gas and diesel it makes recovery costly, especially if your full timing it and not getting hits.

Good luck with your and your Catamaran.
