I just returned from a 10 day trip to Havana, Cuba. I wasn't able to pack my metal detector because I just didn't have the room and wasn't sure if I would be able to hunt. Luckily, I got some hunting in and even met some Cuban detecting enthusiasts while on the beach.
The guys let me see what they found in the ocean. Nothing over the top but still fascinating just the same. With their White's detectors, lots of old Cuban coins, silver chain and some costume jewelry. They said they've never found any Spanish gold. ; ( They invited me to join them the next morning but I wasn't able to make it.
Inspired by my new metal detecting buddies, I starting searching the waters wear they searched with a pair of goggles. I found what look to be teeth from some sort of animal and part of a jaw bone, that REALLY looks to be human.
While visiting Cristobol Columbus Cemetery to see my grandparents grave, I spend some time cleaning up the weeds. While pulling weeds I found a couple of coins, lots of glass, some bones and and part of an interesting piece of metal which I accidentally dropped after photographing it. The bones could be animal, but interestingly, because the cemetery is so full, the bodies are removed from their tombs after 3 years and stored in boxes. I wonder how carefully the bones are removed?
I have more photos and will add them later. I'm going back in December and will definitely take my detector this time!
