4/15/25 Report - More Finds from the Demolished Cafe Site. TreasureGuide's ISS Search Strategy. Reader Beach Photos.

 

Written by the TreasureGuide for the exclusive use of the Treasure Beaches Report.

More Finds Made by Mark G. on His Second Hunt at the Jesnsen Beach Cafe Site.

Mark went back to the sane site where he found the finds I showed a couple days ago.  He did well at the site again.  Below is what he said about that.

... I hit the old Dunes up again this evening after park workers and lifeguards went home. I used my parking lot profile on my Legend, it’s better for picking up coins at near surface depth. I raked in another 7 dollars in coins a couple copper pennies, and this time it gave me gold. I dug a heavy silver chain with a 14K white gold pendant. And as if that wasn’t enough I found a Republic De Panama coin which gave me a heart attack when I wiped the dirt off to see a Conquistador on one side and a shield on the other. Unfortunately as I recovered it’s actually a 1996 clad coin that sounded a lot like a quarter.

If you have an early morning I would suggest Jensen Beach, it’s known for its sunrises.

 

Thank You

Mark Gallagher

Thanks for sharing Mark.

I always recommend returning to productive sites.  I'll beat a site to death, going over it multiple times, sometimes with different detectors.

In a previous post I described my intensive step-search strategy.  Here is the link.

I like to get a lot of the surface and easier targets out of the way and then focus on the smaller, deeper or less conductive targets.  Small changes like a more direct hit or even slower sweep can make the difference.   And with time, small changes in the site can make a difference.  There can be erosion, either wind or water, as well as plant or animal activity.  After you think you got it all, things will still show up, and often some of the better things will come up last.

Nothing exciting here today.  Still small surf.

Good hunting,
