It was just like any other typical day.......raining... small gale winds working a forgotten beach on a deserted island.....
With the sun smiling down from behind a rain cloud... Shaun Calls Out ....Over the Wind.... BUTTTTIN....I stroll down the way over fallen great oaks 600 years old
picking my way scanning the debris along the way a few coins later I catch up with Shaun....he reaches into his poach and pulls out three or four colonial buttons some plain one tomback pewter...We talk about where I am finding the best coins and he talks about how rough the iron is in the pirate 1812 camp.....typical shop talk for two old detectorist friends......while taking a break sipping on our iced down Blue Gator AID drink of Coin and Relic Kings..... I mention a site and rumor...... of the lost Gold Anchor..... telling Shaun I may be able to secure permission for him to join me and Jammie next time we get to hunt the 6 acre site..... Seems Shaun was interested once I told him.... that through a reliable source ....I had heard ... The Gold Anchor... did exist....
Well on a cool morning Shaun, Jammie and Me arrive on site....we are excited to be Free and start finding coins... relics ....and whatzits....
Shaun first find of the day is a French Marine Butt...tin and the back

Shaun says Jim You are Colonies Francoise Magnet.......I just nod and say yep I can smell EM.....And I smell one with your name on IT.....Shaun was A little slow today as he had fell at work putting out a fire with his crew after three Am alarm.....But I know he as tough as the come and he never wimps out on me ...so I knew he was hurting...
not being satisfied we kept hard on the treasure trail..... And soon i would have some more in my bag.....I was sure i would get a Lock on it.....with a silver quarter

Yes this was the Golden (14k) Anchor Found again after being lost for over a year. Jammie and I had scouted out the deep brush and I Had Lost MY Golden Anchor a present from my wife before we had children......Found again By an Honest Friend Indeed.....Shaun hunted some more and was ready to quit..... but I told him I would treat him a Big Mac Happy Meal..... Give his back a break.....go at again when we got back.....I could tell he was hurting!
well after being refreshed and going back at it fast and furious.... Jammie and I see Shaun racing at me with a Big Grin on his face..... I knew then he had joined 1721 Club ! His first And I am sure not his last ...but yes he has been long denied..... but through the pain he won ....Me and Jammie where there to enjoy his excitement and a VERY NICE COIN !
