beach artifacts

Well,,
The code always saids: :icon_pirat: Finders.. Keepers.

Keep / Preserve / Sell the artifacts: Yes, on all three issue's,
 

Sell the artifacts you do not wish to cherish while the market is taking them, and use the money wisely. If you asked me whether I would rather have the artifact or something at the mall, the answer would be clearly "the artifact". Now if you asked me if I would like to keep the artifact, or buy some very useful land with it (not that Florida sand) then I would definitely buy the land. Land that provides sustainability...good for gardens/crops, hunting, and water sources.

What do you do with your beach artifacts? Do you keep/preserve/sell/ throw away/ etc?

I mean items that may have some value.

I think it was a dune buggy that belonged to Art Hartman. ;D
Deepsix and I ran across the engine block back around 1994 during an extreme low tide/erosion combination. It was buried, so we had to dig to expose it. I can't believe we just left it there...

You know there's an old car/truck drivetrain buried behind the radisson just south of Eau Gallie. Only comes up during extreme low tides after storms. Seen it about 10 times in the past 13 years.
 

Ditto too.
I found an old engine.
When the springs on the valves were exposed firstly I thought I found a conglomerate of coins!!! It was square as I felt around it,'An entire chest of coins'!
I was shaking alot! :laughing7:
Then as the more sand I dug I came to realise it was something else. I dug the whole thing out and carried it down to the water line and washed it off. An automobile or boat engine block was all it was.
It was a foot deep. And my awesome story I was going to tell Kellyco, who sold me the detector, was done.
This was at Canova Beach, 1996.
 

I'm allowed to pick up and bring in all the porcelin pieces I find. I have been told once to leave metal and other stuff alone unless it's really interesting. They are trying to get a surf debris pattern for the "good" porcelin off a Spanish trade vessel in the area I go to so they can eventually pursue it.

There is sadly a lot of burned out porcelin from the wreck that all the glaze and markings have been worn off of, maybe 70% of it. There are also a lot of other vessels wrecked in the same general area. I photograph most of the stuff I see and I may move things up the beach to a dune line to see if they want to recover them, or rebury stuff found away from the surf line.
