Tiggyann finds gold on florida beach!

wow you are lucky ! Once while i was diving at the beach i found a gold ring from a wedding ! I never tried to sell it and i doubt it has a good value :)

You are really lucky with this Tiggyann. Way to go! Glad to see someone making money to pay for what they love to do. You really seem to enjoy doing your treasure hunting, I was never so adventurous. Good luck with more!!

That´s a great idea, I never heard that here in Portugal maybe someday i will see somebody with a metal detector trying to find lost rings and stuff, good luck to your chase.

If you can sell it for its appraised value I am interested to know if you really get that cash from the find. I love looking for found money that way. Congratulations.

Wow You are so lucky.. :) I'm not in the near of any beach.. Eventually in summer , I can reach the beach. So I'll remember what to do just like You... Anyway my friend was found 10 years ago one necklace in a swimming pool... :). I could make myaself metal detector since electronic was my hobby...

You give a whole new meaning to the word GOLDDIGGER! You sound like you are having a lot of fun. Hope you keep finding cool stuff.

im happy and kind of good envy for you!!!,,,,well like 9 years ago on the north side of P.R. i was with my ex(she was my girlfriend) she found a 14kt gold neckles and a hand neckles(i dont know how to call it in english) and we sold it for $65 and we use the money to go 2 times to a $20 motel,,you know young in love and both virgins at that time wow!!!it was fantastic!!

Good job. I have recently thought about picking up a metal detector because we have alot of places around here that have alot of history so who know's what here. Keep us posted about you treasure finds I pretty interested in this topic so thanks for sharing.

That's awesome, krissy! You are very lucky finding such stuff where you could earn big bucks! $500 really worth a lot! try finsing another one, who knows it could be priceless, LOL. Better to keep that thing first and decide what to do on it but still keep finding relevant stuff and thank your metal detector! Have a nice day :)

krissy - that is awesome. The truth is that people are careless and lose things. Around touristy beaches, whether they are on the Mediterranean, Australia, Florida, Philippines, Malaysia, Caspian, Indonesia - a whole beachcombing fraternity has grown. Its fun and rewarding for beachcombers. My two boys are six and a bit and five and a bit. The younger one has really sharp eyes and finds all sorts of things - coins, toys etc. etc when we go out. The dilemma for us is whether to allow the children to keep money they found on the basis of "Finders keepers - losers weepers"? We discussed the matter at length and decided that the best thing for us to do was to train the children to hand in their finds - and together we take the money to charity. We make a big ceremony of this and they boys drop their found coins into the Collection box of a local charity. We hope that the children will learn that they earn from the value that they provide. What do you think of that! Are we doing right?

Wow! That's great and sounds like fun. Sounds like you have a very powerful detector tho. How much did it cost? I only have a cheap kid metal detector and have never tried to use it at the beach. Do you need a really powerful/expensive one to find stuff in the sand at the beach?

woow! u seem to be lucky.....congrats

Nice find! How much is the price for ur detector? But the gold is not an iron to be detected by it??

What a great find. I love gold the best. I wear a chain full of the placer gold I got in Alaska every day. It isnt much but it is something I love to have near me. Raw gold right from the Alaska ground. One of the best trips I ever took.

WOW, that's great. I would love to get a metal detector, it sounds like great fun.

wow, that was great... congrats!!!... hope you find alot of gold and silver using your detector... ;)

Congrats! how about giving all your friends a treat from the newly acquired wealth of yours? :)
