PLEASE READ AND LOOK AT ALL PICS my hunt was cut short by the smell of death. Everything smells like death after these hurricanes, rotting sea weed, fish, turtles, and everything else that mother nature can throw up on the beach. But down past reds Beach the smell was too much and I had a feeling about it...I turned around not wanting to walk up on it...what ever it was. Apparently 24 migrants went in the water when there chug sank. This happened right before the hurricane, or during it, im not sure from what I heard. Only 3 were rescued. The last 2 pics are from the sheriff's site. My gut instinct was right, and the bodies were found right after I left. I think the count is six now !! So sad. And I just heard the coastguard suspended the search for 2 missing people and there sailboat that broke free from its Anchorage during #hurricaneian2022 #kellyco #treasurehunting

Anybody know what this came from....was thinking it was from a lantern.....never seen the Phineal like knob before. Copper, pretty large, and notched for a handle...maybe. I thought pot lid also, but don't quite think so....mystery to me....blew my headphones off !!
 

So much weird crap scattered around this ghost town. It'll take me years to go through this spot. The dry weather has the brush thinned out, and im smashing and bashing down the dry scrub. I just lean into the dry vines and branches and use my body weight to break it all up....then kick and beat my weigh into spots I can't get to in spring, summer, and fall.
 

It's a great method to get poison wood !! Wooo hooo !!
If i ever make it down to detect with you Bart... i will be leery if you tell me "go in that area"... heh

I will think of the time i told ya the story the old man who looked liked Hemingway told me which sent you into the "ball field poison wood".

Paybacks are a biatch. :)
 

Man I got tore up !! Still want to go back.
Welllll... he said i was the only one he told about that spot... that was 12 years ago at least.

Three white crusted cobs he wanted to know if i thought they were real... which they were.
 

He was really old and had health issues... he did the flea market on BP... his wife also had health issues... they lived out of a van and traveled from market to market... and he detected wherever they roamed.
