    Similar coins have been found in your back yard. Go get a PI metal detector and a large sand scoop and watch your scooping arm develope. Mike.

    $250k? Yea, saw that on the news down here yesterday.
    It's his claim. But he has had to spend way more to get that.
    If he finds more, that is when he will start to make money. Just covering the operating cost.

    yea, hopefully he is just getting started and can make it pay. We don't call it the treasure coast for no reason.

    See where I am located?
