Metal Detectors Super Store

First Time Metal Detector User Finds Worlds Largest Pull-Tab!

Robert W. of Longwood, FL recently retired and was looking for an interesting hobby. For years local newspapers have written articles on treasures being found on Florida beaches, especially along the east coast known as "Treasure Beach."  T.V. news seems to always have an interesting story of gold or silver coins being found by metal detector users and local treasure salvors have had considerable publicity when they retrieve relics and artifacts in addition to the many Spanish Escudos and Pieces of Eight.  So, Bob decided to become an amateur treasure hunter.

A visit to Kellyco Metal Detector Superstore proved to be an interesting experience. So many metal detectors. So many choices. What to select? Bob spent time gathering valuable information on all the different metal detectors that would fit his needs and budget and walked out with the new Minelab Sovereign Elite.

Having a relative in Wabasso, Florida in the heart of the treasure coast will certainly benefit and on a bright sun shiny day Bob took his metal detector on the beach and started hunting for Spanish gold and silver coins that he had heard so much about.  The recent hurricanes had certainly ripped the beaches all the way to the protective dune lines.  Tons of sand had moved off the beach, so Bob thought his chances of discovering treasure coins were pretty good.  For some reason he did not get any signals on the sand areas and decided to go into the shallow water and try his luck. One of the reasons Bob purchased the Minelab Sovereign Elite was due to the searchcoil being not only waterproof but submersible.

The shallow water proved to be the place to be! A solid hit followed by another even louder sound got Bob digging furiously and instead of a small coin he found a larger object requiring much more digging until finally a mass of metal emerged. The second signal also proved to be much larger than a coin or even a mass of coins and this target was also recovered followed by a third signal which he discovered about 20 feet from the original targets.

Not knowing what he had discovered, whether the masses of metal were valuable or not. He took his finds to the local state museum where they were identified as relics from the wreck of a ship known as the "Roberts" which was sunk between 1706 and 1715. Earlier the museum had recovered the ships bell which identified the wreck and it was precisely where Bob had been metal detecting. 

The day proved to be a "Once - in - a - lifetime" Adventure. Many people have detected for years and not made the type of finds this Newcomer made on his very first day as a detectorist.
