Button find at Matanzas Inlet

[Ascholten]

Crum, let me add. The hunk of metal I had earlier that tested positive for silver. It appears to be a round ball, id say like a musket ball, well it's half a musket ball at least, kind of layered seeming.... I tested it again and yes it IS silver. Now why would someone put silver into a musket ball, did they have vampires back then

vampires would be a personal belief, but they sure had smugglers looking for ways to move precious metal on the ships so that pops to mind for your silver shot.

Congrats mates!

Like to see more photos of Sapper's buttons!

Looks like you found a sweet spot. Is this by the dunes or sand bar? How far down is this stuff you are finding? Be careful out there!

Hey Sapper,

No wet suit for Jacky today, I was in beige shorts and a white t-shirt. My partner was with dark shorts and shirt. We tested a spot near Hammock dunes for a while then went to Matanzas for a while. We were there from about 2:30 to 4:00 if I had to guess.

Today was a banner nail day. I think about 10. My buddy Rich found a rachet wrench though. He said his heart stopped when he hit it with the shovel, all he thought was SILVER BAR.

Hey Sapper23 & Ascholten... if you guys wouldn't mind some company, I would love to meet up and do some hunting with you. I live down in Vero Beach, but am looking to get out of town for a couple of days for some playtime. You can email me at: [email protected]

Let me know... thanks, Phips.
