This may be difficult to believe, but my cofounder and I have found a way around the UNESCO accords and have built strong 'top down' relationships with multiple countries in the Caribbean and Latin America. We are creating a TV show about real life treasure hunting. We've been working on this...

Hey all, I am writing a college paper for my Anthropology class (25 pages) on the effects of Piracy to the Spanish Empire's economy. I'm attempting to go up and down the east coast of the USA to discuss the various famous privateers/pirates and the wrecks we have found. Trying to make sure my...

Heavy side story, I’ve been missing my absolute best friend of a cat since Monday night, been looking everywhere for him. Decided to swing around in some woods by my house to stave off the depression. I live near an 18 century pub and church, just off of a road that’s been actively in use since...

I still can't believe I dug this. It's what I believe is a milled bust pillar type, 2 reales. Weighs 5.53g and measures 26.5mm/1.04" diameter. If I'm wrong please correct me. I'm looking to narrow time the time period and more details about the piece. I can't make out the more worn side to...

Follow along on Youtube with "The Outdoors with Carl Allen" Exploration Here is a few recent finds. August 2023. They bring up more every week or so.

This is a Spanish 8 Reale I found while mudlarking. It was minted in New Guatamala in 1808 and bears the bust of Charles IV.

Found this Spanish pillar dollar today in the ocean. (Edit: I initially thought it to be too light to be genuine, weighing in at only 16.5 grams, but as many T-net users have pointed out, being exposed to salt water for 200+ years corrodes silver, and I can confirm the coin is much thinner than...

I found this buried up a Canyon in the Deserts of the U.S southwest. It was inside a 100 year old lard can that was sealed with a lid and wrapped in what appeared to be calico that turned to ash when I unwrapped it. The corner had already been sawn off when I found it and still shines brightly...

Hi, I’m looking for anyone who has information on the book by Robert O. Burch called the Spanish Trail of Gold? I understand this is a rare book and heavily sought after item. However, I’m specifically interested in speaking to someone regarding its author and the authors family. I am...

Has anyone found any interesting Spanish Texas era artifacts that you might want to show? I haven’t really found anything older that 1860s in the area I detect and I don’t really hear much about pre 1800s finds in Texas. Thanks:)

Hello, Newbie here, I was wondering if anyone had any opinions or advice on this object. It was found in the sand by the beach in Sargent, TX. My dad thinks he sees a faint cross on it and thinks it could be an old Spanish coin. I can't really tell. It is very worn and corroded but it does look...

Hello fellow hunters. I am new to this site and want to know if anyone has any info on the laws in Costa Rica regarding using a metal detector on the beaches and in the water. A google search is not yielding the best results and I don't know how much I trust a lawyer to give me accurate...

Hello everybody! I'm fairly new here on this forum and wanted to start posting some of my finds. Some quick facts: I'm from New Brunswick, Canada, I have been detecting since June of 2017, I am currently swinging the Equinox 600. These finds where made in the last week on a very productive...

Hello everybody! I'm English but have spent most of my working life in Spain. My company seconded me to our Spanish operation in 1975 for 3 or 4 years, but when the time came to go back to the UK, I decided to stay on here, and have never regretted my decision. Retired since 2006, I have...

Found my first older Spanish silver cob today. I believe its a 2 reale from the Potusi, Peru mint but i don't know enough about cob coinage to determine a date range. HELP!

Recently started thinking (again) about getting into metal detecting. I have a couple of cheap detectors, but want to get into it with something decent. Watching the guy on Oak Island finding tidbits of history gets me all excited :-) Anyway, wanted to pass along something that may be of...

I am a new member, but am doing historical research on early mining in the Appalachians and would welcome any insights others might have. Based on my research, I believe there can be documented four locations with pre-18th century mineshafts in the southern Appalachians, and two sites that...

I regularly receive emails requesting my assistance in teaching newbies to the KGC field about the treasure signs and symbols they need to look for when searching for clues to KGC depositories and caches. I usually invite them to join our BBAM group where we have many experienced and...

We have this art piece, been in the family for decades. When the grandparents moved out of their house, we realized we knew little about this piece. Compared to pics we've found online of similar pieces, this one is unique in several ways including the lamps in the ceiling and the depth of the...

I located several of these rocks on family land, which is near several Spanish gold mines, where ore was removed. The pictures are from the rock with the most legible markings. It looks as though the five rocks may have been one large one many years ago. Not sure if it's related to the Spanish...

My brother picked this coin at our job's parking lot and as he was about to toss it, I said WAIT! I looked at it and I said to him this might be a silver reales, he looked at it and didn't cared for it so he gave it to me. The real question is: what can it be? I know it's unidentifiable but...

I recovered this cut Spanish silver coin in Raleigh, North Carolina. My oldest coin to date!

Can anyone ID this 50 inch (about 127 cm) old cannon found in Gibraltar so most probably British or Spanish.

This 38 inch (about 97 cm) cannon is found in Gibraltar so is most probably British or Spanish. Can anyone ID this?

Days are unfortunately getting shorter. Showed up at a new spot today at 4 pm. This place looks like something out of a movie. Old trees etc. Anyways, second diggable signal of the day rang in at a steady 80 on the At Pro. I'm thinking its a copper penny all day, yet I notice it's at 6-8"...

I know very little about coins. My memories of these specimen are hazy, considering I got them 15-20 years ago at approximately 10 years old. Here's what I THINK we're looking at. 1. Eight 4-reale coins, found by me on a dig with my grandmother and her cohort in the Tampa Bay area. I...

The spear and axe below were found in the 1970s by my father and uncle on a very remote hilltop in Southern Utah (near Bryce and Zion national parks) hidden under the roots of an old dead tree. Anyone have a guess as to their origin. I'm guessing either a late 19th or early 20th century...

Hi. Newbie here. Help with my find will be greatly appreciated. 3 images total. I believe this is a turtlehead marker. It has some crude markings on top. I converted the turtle image to BW as it brings out other apparent carvings/images. The last image is very near to the turtlehead and looks...

A mate of mine found this, didn't say where and it looked interesting so I took a couple of pics - he doesn't really do the internet. Anyway, from looking through google it seems to be some kind of escudo, possible an 8 escudo piece? I would really appreciate an expert opinion on year and any...

I love the large heads I find. The sentry on top tells me there is something there.
