| Silver Luxor Casino Chip Found On Pompano Beach in Plastic Container As Shown. |
Some guys specialize. They hunt one type of item. Maybe they hunt shipwreck treasure coins, or Civil War items, or modern jewelry. I hunt a wide variety of types of things. To me it almost seems like I take whatever is being presented to me wherever I am. I guess I like the process and know that I can find something of interest and some value almost anywhere. It doesn't matter whether it is Miami Beach or the hills of West Virginia, and it doesn't much matter to me if it is a million-year-old fossil or a brand new diamond ring. There is treasure to be found almost anywhere you go. The remnants of the past is all around you.
You don't have to travel to distant exotic locations, as fun as that might be, to find treasure. But if you are not getting good results, you might consider making a change, but it doesn't have to be a big or dramatic change. As important as your metal detector is, keeping you eyes open and your mind working is just as important.
Even though I found the casino token shown above many years ago, I decided to show it again for a reason. It was found in Pompano Beach Florida at the edge of the water. It is from a casino in Las Vegas. It traveled a long way to find me.
When you find an odd item, let your mind wander. Why was it there? How did it get there? You might even look at the map to see where it came from. Even though this item isn't very old, it has a history (which gets longer every day), just like an old shipwreck coin. A lot of research has been conducted on the treasure fleets, which adds to the known history of the items. No matter how old the item, the research can help you make more finds.
This modern find has a story too. You might not know exactly how it got there, but it evidently made a journey. It is not too surprising that it ended up in a tourist location. A lot of things from around the world can be found in South Florida. The token is just one of many items that tells something about travel patterns and the area as a tourist destination.\
While on the subject, here are a couple more casino token finds from the past.
But that isn't what I started to talk about. The Luxor token was found in a protective plastic case, which is why it ended up at the edge of the water. It is rare, but nice to find items in a protective case. Here is another.

| Gemstone in Plastic Case As Found. |
I took a little walk yesterday and came upon an area where there was an accumulation of shells and stones. It is one of those areas you always want to inspect, so I did. At the water's edge was this surprise.
 |
| Shell and Gravel Area Near At Water's Edge. |
That is the kind of place where you might find glass, marbles or an occasional fossil. There were a few bits of old rusty metal too.
 |
| Cut Gemstone - Possibly Citrine. |
I don't know what the stone is yet. I think it might be a citrine.
Again, you have to wonder why it was there and how it got there.
