CVISChris Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Hey Joe at least it looks cool there. Here in central California we are well over 100 degrees. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D. Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 With the humidity, so are we! But it was cloudy, due to storms that day! I was soaked, but I didn't roast! I just keep the lightning detector app on for warnings! Got it set for a 20 mile perimeter! I can also hear it (lightning) on the detector, but that's not ideal! By then, it's too close to risk!⚡??? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Atlantic Coast guys are so nonchalant with your 'early' European influence finds. Kac was dead-panning his 1797 USA mint large cent, too. Ship spike from a heavily gold laden Spanish Galleon? Ho hum.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D. Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 GB, I don't think that "Kac" guy found that coin with a pan; I believe that is only for them prospector people!! And how do their pans die?? I think he was using one of those detector thingies!?? I wish that spikes origin was from a Treasure Ship! But it's quite a bit too far South from the 1715 Fleet's final resting places!? But there were many other smaller wooden ships around this area, like most inlet areas, back in the day! But I'm fine with that!? Actually, now that I think about it.... "Could it be?.., a spike from a Templar Ship?.., looking for a place,.., to bury the Holy Grail?..??" ??? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely from one of the pirate ships from down there, just maybe blue beard's ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously we really do appreciate them, but believe it or not, you get used to finding them and kind of expect to find them. It would be the same way if we lived out west....gold coins, silver dollars, meteorites, and S mint coins. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvpopeye Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Interesting beach to be on , PIA to dig but you didn't do too bad ! Lots of gray matter too , too bad it wasn't that other heavy metal .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D. Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 I actually enjoy this type of hunting! It's not nearly as common here, and requires a little more focus! And no one comes out on the rock's to follow you around and break your concentration! The potential ankle breaking/a$$ busting threat helps keep your focused on the coil area!? And the chance of finding interesting items; I think, is much greater than our constantly renurished beaches!?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogodog Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I would have to wear snow shoes in that place, Last time I was at an area like that I chipped my elbow and got a few stitches. Only thing I found was my insurance card. Glad you made a good day out of it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
