In 1952, treasure hunter Edward Snow, on a visit to a small island off the coast of Nova Scotia, used a metal detector and old charts to find eight 18th-Century Spanish doubloons and parts of a skeleton that was still clutching the coins in its hand. The treasure was believed to have come from a Spanish galleon captured by pirates in 1725.

Now that is cool. Hmmm 1952.... wonder if that was a predecessor of the Tejon or the Compadre?

Cool. I still remember the first time that I was told about guys detecting decades ago and coming home with half cups of silver coins from virgin sites. It sure isn't like that around here anymore. But that just makes me appreciate any oldie that I find now.
