www.treasurebone.blogspot.com Berkley Lake, in Denver, CO. is being drained as part of a project that includes screening a walking trail from I-70 with a berm, trees and indigenous grasses. This is a welcome event for many of the treasure hunters in the area. As most treasure hunters know, it doesn’t get much better than this type of scenario for us. Phil LaRocco a local treasure hunter said “I was here with my father in 1976 when the lake was low. He found 67 gold and silver rings in two weeks.” “We’re waiting for the water to get past that,” he said. “That’s where the diving board was.” LaRocco started out at 5 am Thursday, and by noon he had collected a cache including 13 rings, a 1935 buffalo nickel, a silver Mercury dime and lots of wheat pennies. Joe Fortunato said “People used to swim and play here in the water and lose things like bracelets and rings,” he said. “We’re finding things people lost 50 or 60 years ago.” Doug Sagrillo said “Fishing gear, watches, jewelry, rings,” he said. “It’s like treasure hunting, with the price of gold and silver these days.” The project is due to be complete until June of next year. So there is plenty of time for all you treasure hunters who live nearby or who may be passing through. Lakes in the area have been lucrative in the past too; they have produced treasures in the past. In 1959, law enforcement divers on a training dive in Rocky Mountain Lake Park, also in the Berkeley area found four safes, in the water including one that …

Was messing around in my backyard and dug an iffy signal found what I think was probably an old purse spill.

Found this HUGE SILVER ring (1st of 2012) with a change of pace from relic hunting. Went Beach Metal Detecting for Coins and Jewelry on the sandy beaches of Biloxi MS. Found some clad coins and a nice costume jewelry ring that turned out to be .925 silver. A few good beach metal detecting tips mentioned too. Thanks for watching the CajunCoinHunter in Biloxi MS. big

Once again we are out detecting in the hope of coming across some interesting finds, this time i get lucky with silver and gold!

Hi Everyone, Went back out to the old beach front this afternoon, i have to say this place is something else, we had another great outing today, my take was 5 silver coins with some wheats and some clad change, Mike ended the hunt with a standing liberty quarter and he also dug some wheats. In my last three hunts here, i have dug 16 silver coins . We will be heading back soon to try our luck. Thanks for watching and best of luck on your next hunt ! HH Dave

Unexpected finds at an early 1800s site.

Plenty of coins again – but only one silver which was a bit of a bummer. I have already done most of this site very thoroughly with my Etrac but still managed to find a few older coins. There will still be plenty left to find as there are still acres of land to go at.

On January 14th I bought the Whites MXT!!!!! The Whites MXT is my third metal detector. With the MXT I am hoping to detect deeper and increase my amount of finds. I got it for a great deal, and it came along with a free Bullseye II Pin Pointer and a pair of headphones. Throughout the week, I tested my MXT out in my yard and I made a few cool finds. I’m loving the MXT so far, but I’m sure I’ve still got a lot to learn!

Went out metal detecting for civil war relics and old silver coins with my friend Hank The Dog @ a Confed campsite. Hank is a lucky dog. Made several round ball & fired civil war lead finds, a couple of minie balls, a button etc. Hunted along an old road/trail that existed during the war. Got very lucky – a 1853 Seated Libery Half Dollar with my Fisher Labs F75 ltd.. Thanks for watching. cch
