Anyone hunt Treasure Coast lately?

[subzero007]

Just curious if anyone has had a chance to hunt the treasure coast lately? I have recently found some new places around
Vero Beach that may show some promise. Seems that the AIS Indians had their main camp in this area.
But not on the beach. May be worth looking into.

Would surely be worth looking into subzero, have you tried it?

Just got back from Fort Pierce and Hutchingson island and found nothing. Found some stuff at Juno though.

Not yet, finishing up some research as I type. Spent a lot of time digging up some info.
It has been a little while since my last trip down. I did find a silver tooth pick and some other nifty artifacts.

I guess the wierdest thing I found was titanium nuggets. The guy at McLarty Treasure Museum
said that was what he thought they were.

Nice finds. The necklace is cool. Are the coins copper or brass. Unusual but very nice.
Thanks for sharing wavecrazed.

I have found aluminum nuggets, but not titanium.

Now this is what the Ranger at McLarty Museum at Sebastian Florida told me.
He said that they were from the space shuttle. When the rockets seperated the rings were titanium and melted.
When they did they dropped and many landed on the beach. Is that crazy or what. He said he had a ziploc
bag full of them. Go figure.

The ocean floor is polluted with space junk that has accumulated since the early 60's. Lots of missles were aborted/destructed over water in the early days. Melted junk washes in every day from Melb to Cocoa. Most of it looks like melted puddles of aluminum. None of it actually landed on the beach, its just washes in
