Below are very interesting items found by Kevin. These finds represent three different outings: Daytona Beach, Beach in Mexico, and his own property. According to Kevin, all items were located with a White's Spectra V3. Be sure to view his finds, and to read his story. Impressive to say the least!

I found the following rings, pendants, cobra link necklace, diamond studs, 1ct CZ 14kt white gold mounting found at Daytona Beach Florida, not listing clad approx. $9.00 face with White’s Spectra V3 metal detector.
The rope necklace, roach clip, mans bracelet, 22kt pendant,.650 marquis diamond ring, and 2 Seiko watches were found in Cabo San Lucas Mexico.
The cache of coins in a sterling silver box was found on my property at a depth of 18 inches.

I just wanted to thanks Snake Grills at S & P Treasure Finders detectors for selling me my White's Spectra V3 and how friendly he is to speak to. And to whites for selling the best detector on the market!!!
P. S. Most of these items are for sale, email me for details.

Daytona Beach Trip With the White's Spectra V3

One of my old high school classmates called me just before Christmas this year from Daytona to tell me he just bought a new metal detector. He and I used to hunt here in Ohio years ago before he moved to Florida.

I cleared it with the wife as it was getting rather cold here in northern Ohio. I drove straight through
around 18 hours thinking I was going to get to hunt again before spring and maybe get a tan to boot.
The day I arrived it was around 50 degrees and I had to run to the store to get some long sleeved shirts and a light jacket as it would dip to 34 degrees at night.

After relaxing for a few hours we went to the beach. Being that it was cold and a cold front had moved in we were pretty much alone on the beach. I could tell that he was moving way to fast as he would pick up clad I would come along behind him and get the good stuff.

As you see the paragraph above was just some of the things I found being there for 3 days not to mention around $6.00 in various clad and pennies. All in all I think he found around $1.55 in clad and before I left. I tried to explain to him to slow down and keep his coil level. I guess he was just a little to excite.
Anyway I packed my gear and treasure and headed back to Ohio waiting for spring.

I always go to Cabo San Lucas Mexico in November to go marlin fishing for a week. This was the first time I ever took a metal detector and boy was I glad I did. I usually charter a marlin boat every other day and sit on the beach a day.

This time the days I wasn't on the charter boat I was tearing the beach up with my white's v3. On the 1st. day I went marlin fishing but no luck just caught 5 Dorado fish. Second day I hit the beach and found lots of clad but nothing to brag about. third day I went marlin fishing again and after about 2 hrs of trolling at 20 knots I got a strike on the port outrigger out 100 yards.
At this point the captain and first mate stopped the boat and we set the hook and 45 minutes of the most physical workout I ever had I could see this monster jump almost completely vertical out of the sea of Cortez or Gulf of California about 100 ft off the stern of the boat. I knew it was a large marlin as I have caught marlin before, but this guy was way too powerful compared to the others I have caught. After a 1hr 20 minute battle, we finally gaffed the beast and tied him to the stern swim platform.

After returning to Cabo they hoisted the fish as all the others caught that day to weigh them and sell them. My fish weighed in 427 1/2 lbs and was 13 1/2 feet long. I didn't sell my fish as I saw a local native and he asked me for the tail to feed his family. After seeing his 5 kids bloated and hungry I gave him the whole fish. His expression on his face was heart warming to say the least.

4th day as I was getting ready to hunt the beach I noticed about 1 mile out from shore was a huge cruise liner. I heard him sound off the ships horn and drop anchor as numerous boats were lowered to the water with tourists coming to the beach I was hunting. I decided to sit down on a lounge chair on the beach with a Corona and just watch.
Wow you should have seen the bathing suits come off as they hit the beach. I later found out from the motel I was staying at that the ship was on its way back from Aruba, South America.

After watching the people from the ship party and act crazy I thought I would just sit back and enjoy and hit the beach the next morning. At 5 am I was pounding the sand while everyone was nursing a hangover and it was almost too good to be true. I found 2 Seiko chronograph watches still running, roach clip 9 diamonds 14.1 grams, .650 ct. diamond marquis engagement ring 14 kt 2.2 gram, diamond cut 14kt 20 inch 10mm rope 133.2 grams, mans bracelet 14kt. 8 3-4 long 16.3 grams and just when I was getting ready
to go back to my room as I had to catch a cab 60 miles north to La Paz to the airport I found a 22kt pendant that weighed 12 grams and said on the obverse Plymouth 1620 New York 1894.
The reverse says Society of Mayflower Descendants but the other name engraving was hard to make out as it had been scratched out for the most part.

I received a fairly strong signal at 12 inches then would break up on the tone. Tried different angles but had the same results.
I decided to dig it. At 12 inches, target was still in the hole.
At that time I went back to my shop to get a shovel which is around 1100 feet away as I only had a gator digger with me.
After digging down approx 18 inches I discovered a burlap sack which fell apart to the touch.
but whoever buried this wanted to keep it dry as it was wrapped in 2 bread wrappers and had what looked
like candle wax poured all over the sterling silver box to seal it from moisture.
At this point I took the box back to my shop to examine it and used a pointed o ring pick to open the seal the wax
had sealed at the joint. This took well over an hour as I didn't want to scratch the box. I was amazed when I finally got it opened not
only to see the silver dollars but to find that the teak wood inside was completely dry and intact.
At that point I realized I had left my detector back at the treasure hole and it was getting ready to rain. I went back to fill the hole and thought I would
check the hole once again with my v3 and pin pointer. As I did this I received another broken tone to the slight left
of my original 18 inch deep hole. I took my gator digger and started digging on the side of my original hole
and hit something. I hit a quart mason jar that was also wrapped in what was left of a burlap bag and bread wrappers.
Plus the lid was coated in the same wax as the metal box was. Unfortunately I hit the jar with my digger causing it to shatter and watch a stream of copper coins fall into my initial hole.
I was totally amazed since I have been treasure hunting for over 25 years but haven't had a detector since I moved into my house here in 95.
