Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow

Ah yesterday..... a disappointment for me there. I got up very early and drove 3-1/2 hours to attend that seminar on the 1715 fleet mainly because I wanted to take my coin over there and see if it was real or not.

Hence the disappointment. It is a fake. Oh well all was not lost. I met WreckDiver1715, Nudels and Ivan Salis there and that was great. I also learned a couple of things about the wrecks that I did not know.

From there I drove a little further north to have a short visit with my brother-in-law and his wife. The both MD also. He took me to Smyerna Beach (probably did not spell that right). Another disappointment. I got in the water and hunted for almost two hours and did not get one hit! NOT ONE! There were people there but I kept putting my coil to my scoop just to make sure it was working. Sheesh! Finally I decided I had a long drive back home so I better leave. I managed to find several bottle caps and a couple of pull tabs on my way back to my car. I got back home around 7 pm. It was a long day and full of disappointment but.... the one bright spot was getting to meet other T-neter's.

Today.... well I am wore out from yesterday so I did not go out hunting today. Just too darn tired.

Tomorrow.... watch out Well that is a brand new day and mumszie is going hunting. :wink:

Re: Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow

I personal saw mumzies coin -- I showed her a modern fake just like it with no copy on it (funny thing mine was got at the sovie shop at the "grey building" tallahasee when I went to the "rules meet" -- its not marked copy anywhere on it (as it should be "legally") and its a silver type coin --they also had a gold colored type ones both types in small (2 reale) middle (4 reale) and large size (8 reale or doubloon if gold colored ) ---it plain to see their fakes the two flat spots on oppisite sides where their held in a vice to be stamped and the overly shiney appearance are dead give aways-- old silver in sea water should be dull black or grayisjh in color --- gold looks as good coming out as it did going in --thats why gold is thought of a a "noble" metal -- the fakes are lead or pot metal based with a "chrome type plating of shiney silverish metal for color and if gold a thin wash of gold colored metal for color-- sadly it was a modern fake coin so kid lost on vaction or some jolly joker put downmost likely
