1715 fleet bronze deck spike

[GatorBoy]

I've had a bit of a good luck streak the past few weeks...at an odd time too.
The beach detecting conditions have been challenging to say the least.

Awesome find!

I found it on a beach directly adjacent to the wreck site and ballast pile.
Also found these recently in close proximity.
This is a well known 1715 fleet wreck beach.











These were very recently found within earshot by Eric.

It's like low hanging fruit.
Just can't put my tank on and go anymore. :-(

I wish it was I who found all that gold.. 16 feet of gold chains not to mention the escutos..all the cobs,kang Xsi porcelain ect..ect..
That was Eric and crew "family" aboard the "Booty Salvage"
I just work the shore these days.

Why don't you work the water anymore?

The "known" wreck sites are all privately leased in cooperation with the state in my area.
I'm not a leaseholder and would face serious penalties.
