    What a nice haul. You did better in PR than NYC. I hope you and your wife had a great vacation. Keep those beaches nice and clean. :)

    Junkers? Might be why they were in the sand. Glad you and your wife had a fun and safe vacation.

    Nothing. I even detected my family home which was built in the mid 1960's but only found some old pieces of miscellaneous metal.

    Nope. I eyeballed it on the sand when I was swinging away.

    Glad your vacation was enjoyable. Get home safe.


    Not exactly taxable in England. Your findings, depending upon what you find, ie: antiquities, are actually the possession of the crown.

    Sounds fair :banghead:
    I can't fathom how the 'commoners' want to be ruled by, and financially support a monarchy.
