    Yeah Mon! Jamaica Finds

    We took a trip to Jamaica for my cousins wedding and of course the ETrac came along for the trip.

    No gold like I hoped. At least there wasn't a S,Flight,HOS
    The second day on the beach I nabbed a small 925 heart shaped Tiffany & Co piece.


    I'm not sure what it's from?


    That would end up being the only precious metal found during the trip. But that's OK.
    One thing that I like to find while detecting is coins from different countries. That's one thing I did find a few of!

    Here's what the beach gave up in non-U.S. coins.


    The flip sides.


    Besides the U.S. coins, I've ID'ed, Jamaican, Canadian, Russian, one from Chilli, a 20 Euro Cent, and a couple I haven't ID'ed. And one I probably won't be able to ever ID because of the corrosion. I'm sure it's a coin off of old pirate's ship that just washed ashore.



    If I ever go back I'll have to get me a water machine for sure.

    Thanks for lookin'!

    Some cool finds! Yep, a water machine would be a big plus there. Luckily I didn't have to leave Wisconsin for my Jamaican coin

    You look so relaxed...what's that white stuff on your hat???

    I have to agree that the non-id'd coin is definitely pirate treasure.

    Nice, Tim. That Tiffany item looks like a pin missing the... pin. I enjoyed Jamaica when I went there, but It was quite a few years ago. Met the rapper Snow (it was the 90's..lol) and was able to have strawberry daiquiris even tho I was like 12. I stayed at the Grande in Ocho Rios. Loved Dunn's River falls, too.

    Nice finds Tim! Please return that charm back to Tiffany and Co.
