I got a report from a freind of mine -- of chopped up pennies being salted on the ship wreck site below fort piece known as "gold / colored beach" -- anyone else hear of similar things happenng else where? -- darn anti treasure hunter tricks --or a real jerk hunter with very selective discrimainating ability --- either way if caught this person should be charged with "harrassing" the normal detector folks who want nothing more than to try to find a bit of treasure.
 

of chopped up pennies being salted on colored beach

can you give a little more detail about it? I'd been detecting for many years on beaches and I'd seen twisted pennies and some people tell me about "Witchcraft" for some women. Like I said 'people said'. ???

colored beach

Colored beach? or colored bleach? ???

witchcraft, voodoo, root magick, twisted pennies.. am sorry but I have never heard of that in any occult religion. And I am well versed in pagan religions as well.
 

this topic has voodoo all over her, every time i try to post ,some purveyor of snake oil changes it! but enough of that witchcraft!/ mombojumbo. Pegleg said he was paid to spread cut nails on the treasure coast back in the day? b

lol whats does that mean, you lost me on that one..
 

the area is where a known 1715 era shipwreck site (just below fort pierce) that is called gold / colored beach for two reasons --the large amount of gold coins found at the site and the fact that in the old days it was where most of the local black people swam at .

I knew many people that use coins to dump it to the seashore for superstitious reasons trying to get something in what they believe. i.g. on day a cops came to me to ask me if I could use my MD in the police academy at the backyard of that academy because He lost his plaque and that"plaque" it was prepared in voodoo works to save his life in the call of duty,...do you believe?

Believe or not I was approached for many peoples to do many kind jobs related with metal detecting.

Most likely the cause of the twisted pennies is because the devils triangle is near by.Stranger things have happened before.

The Devil always will be around of the human kind.

most voodoo coins are put in whole --not chopped up -- sounds like a case of "black voodoo magic" alright to me ---as in make the other detector folks go away from "my" area or make all the detector folk leave the area peroid cuz their PO ed that the areas messed up

#1 copper is worth well over $3.50 a lb.Since the pennies are mutilated they are now legally scrap.go get em ivan.the scrap could pay for part of your fuel to get there.just make your you find them all so when i go down there i wont find any. 8)
 

yeh but even so as cut up scrap they might think you did it --most likely its crappy new zinc cents --not good pre 82 copper to boot
 

seems like there would be a simpler item to use to salt a beach than cutting up pennies.
 

true theres easier items to "salt" with but most items like BB's or alumium bits are easily filtered out thru "disc"---copper is not so easy to filter out
 

I really can't fathom anyone going through the trouble of sifting through their penny collection, pulling out just the coppers, cutting them in half and then salting a public beach that has been metal detected for 40 years. ::)

Most Treasure Coast beach hunters dig everything anyway (there are some really cool iron shipwreck artifacts to be found) and don't discriminate at all.

The bits of iron at the Colored Beach site (Douglass Beach), from the salvage barge Dee-Gee breaking apart, are more of a problem.
 

which 1715 shipwrecks are associated with Douglass beach? i am working from mr. Wellers' "Shipwrecks Near Wabasso Beach". thank you for your time! b
 

It is allegedly the Nieves.

It is not listed in the "Shipwrecks Near Wabasso Beach" book.
