Remember if you find anything always say you found it above the water line that way the state cannot take it from you anything above the water line is yours anything below the water line is the states... Awesome finds, congratulations!!!

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

100%! Thank you! Going back down in the next couple months, go pro in hand this time 😬. Thanks for watching!

[@patbenjamin503]

@@Burntchurchtreasurehunting maybe we'll run into each other.. Happy hunting!!

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

@patbenjamin503 shoot me a message next time you head out. If there’s a decent storm or cut possible, I’ll be down there. Happy hunting to you as well! Hope to see you down there

Who knew florida had so much cool things

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

Lots of history all around. Countless shipwrecks scattered around Florida too. Treasure to be found all around us. Thanks for watching!

[@Sarcasmos-ft7gz]

That 2 escudo is spectacular. Absolutely amazing find! Santa Fe de Bogota mint.

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

Thank you! Was floored when I found it. Rumor on the beach was a guy about 2 miles from me found 3 gold coins, (2 x 2 escudos and 1 x 4 escudo) in a 6 ft radius. Saw someone find a monster garnet and a few small emeralds too. Amazing what a storm washes up and uncovers when it moves tons of sand

[@ibcap]

Awesome. great findings @ 13.35 & 14.45min

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

Thank you so much! I am still shocked after finding these. Trying again in a month or so too 🤞 and will be posting videos from the hunts

Thank you so much! Don’t forget to subscribe for more to come! Doing another hunt in a month or so for 1715 treasure and another for 1733 fleet treasure in the keys. Thanks again!

[@low-slow-global]

Well done!

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

Thank you! Getting ready to go back down soon for another round, this time 20 miles or so south of where I found these items. Also chasing 1733 fleet treasure in the Florida keys too. I’ll be posting videos within a month or so too, would love for you to subscribe also as now that I have been convinced to do a YT page and have the cameras etc, I’ll be posting regularly as I go on little expeditions frequently. Thanks again!

Nice Finds

Thank you

[@oddlyspecificbaseball]

Awesome!

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

Thank you so much for watching!!!

[@TwoBitTony]

Congratulations, nice finds!

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

Thank you so much! Lots of hard work as you know. I will have a couple live hunts posted in around 2 months as I will be back down there hunting and in the keys hunting 1733 fleet treasure as well. The keys and 1733 will be a tough one though as salvage efforts were very good on those ships

[@karenjones7111]

Awesome.✌

👍👍👍

[@DigFlorida]

Dang! Killer finds!

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

[@ThreeOfAFind]

Cool video dude! Real life tresure hunting. I always wanted to do that as a kid, actually I still want to do that 😂

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

Thank you! Never too late to start haha

[@kurtbjork231]

Awesome finds, we went detecting in Vero beach area, planning next trip

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

Thank you! Best of luck to you!

[@alvincook8888]

Exactly! At the waterline!

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

Waterline is the spot. Or right at the face of the dunes, however it isn’t legal in some spots and frowned upon in most others. 20 ft away from dunes signs were posted everywhere

[@alvincook8888]

I live on retirement checks. But grew up in deep woods. Im used to the outside elements. Love beach life.

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

It’s a blast. From the northeast originally too, love the woods. Now live by the beach but drive to the woods still. Be sure to subscribe for much more to come, have quite a few videos from the keys I’ll put up when I return. Also headed to St Augustine soon too

[@alvincook8888]

You are doing exactly what I wish I could do. Been researching too.

[@sandyadkins2637]

I always wanted to have metal detectors to walk beached as a hobby to find pieces of time in sands !❤️🙏

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

You should go for it! Lots of really cool stuff to find, plus good exercise too haha. Just finished a good hunt in the Florida keys for 1733 treasure. Exhausting hunting where I was as the sand is quite heavy, but worth the payoff in the end. I’ll be posting that video within a week or so as I’m editing now since it was a long hunt and found way too much garbage for one video 🤦‍♂️. Thanks again for watching, much more to come!

[@robertbray7855]

Great video and great discoveries

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

Thank you so much!!! Finally had a break through this trip after many many getting skunked haha. Been down twice since this trip too, no success. Thank you again for watching and best of luck! I’ll be posting another video (have a GoPro now) once I have another successful trip haha.

[@alvincook8888]

Very cool podcast!

[@stephendodge238]

WoW.......😀Real Bobby Dazzlers.......Cheers!!! I would love to go tandem next time.....Port Richey, FL.

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

I was shocked to say the least. Been down a few times with no luck, same in the keys too. Just hit a decent find from 1733 fleet recently, video on YT. I am planning for the next decent storm to head down, if not before that. Thank you for watching too, I’m all for joint hunts too, makes it all the more fun😊. Don’t forget to subscribe for much more down the line too

[@jerrytalley802]

Awesome finds, you are one of only a few of thousands that go look for shipwreck treasure that actually found either one of these coins. Not many people can endure that hard of detecting so you earned it.

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

Thank you! Been down there many times and come home empty handed. Been down twice since this visit, nothing but trash and common coins and the occasional modern jewelry piece. Going to be tough to ever top it again. Been searching for years down there and in the keys too. Found one coin in the keys, these coins in the treasure coast. Nothing of historical significance in the dozen or so other trips to the treasure coast or the yearly trip in the keys. Best of luck to you and thank you for watching! Will be posting another video next time I find something significant and have a GoPro now to record while hunting.

[@michaelc1705]

Wow! My dream is to find a gold escudo... Congrats!

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

I was floored and shocked. Still kind of am. Getting it made into a bezel to wear at the moment too. Hoping to make it back down again soon to try some different areas of the beach. Thanks for watching, much more to come

[@robertpuleo1203]

Great job, thank you

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

Thank you! Will be posting a live hunt video next trip down. Going to try to find some gemstones too along with detecting for artifacts too. Thanks for watching!

[@chrisclaphan6098]

I know never in a million but wow you are super intuitive, thanks for sharing amazing!

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

Thank you for watching! Research, luck and intuition helps for sure. Good timing after a storm definitely helps stir things up too. Looking forward to my next trip back for sure. When I was down there for this trip, a rumor was floating around the beach of someone finding 4 gold coins at first break of the storm. Rumor was (2) 1 escudo, (1) 2 escudo and (1) 4 escudo gold coins. Thought like everyone else that it was made up until I saw the coins myself. All in a 6 ft radius too, amazing. Best of luck to you and much more to come in the future from me now that I have cameras to hopefully document cool finds. People think I have a special gift for finding things since videos posted only show me finding things. I don’t bother making videos with the hundreds of other times I get skunked searching for things haha. Thanks again!

[@davidmurray9844]

Excellent work and video. Thank you for sharing, I’m planning on going.

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

Thank you so much for watching! Best of luck out there. I’ll be down again next decent storm or maybe an impromptu summer hunt. Thanks again!

[@mrobertson188]

If i lived near there id be out there everyday detecting especially after a big storm

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

For sure. I am about 5-6 hrs away, but still close enough for a drive. Truck is timing up the storm driving to not put anyone at risk on the roads. Not always easy picking to go early knowing you’re headed to sit through a hurricane, or wait until it passes and give others the shot to hit the beach before you. One day I hope to retire close to the treasure coast, then it’ll be every day 😄. Thanks for watching! Just upgraded my Nox 800 with a new carbon shaft and bigger coil so I’m ready next trip. Best of luck to you!

[@edippilito2633]

I was the advantage of detecting in the middle of the night VS in the morning.

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

I like detecting at night personally. Very peaceful and literally no one else out there with me. Sometimes though to hit at the right tide and after storms, you have to do it whenever the opportunity presents itself regardless of time of day. Happy hunting!

[@edippilito2633]

@@Burntchurchtreasurehunting thank you for replying

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

@edippilito2633 absolutely. Best of luck out there!

I have a Garrett seahunter mark 2 metal detector. I know where the hotspots are to go to metal detect in florida, Is Vero Beach? It's okay to metal detect.😊 Sebastian inlet is a another good place. Fort Pierce inlet. Florida, The sand is very soft, Is very sandy place, Take your metal detector in the water About maybe waste deep, The water is not that rough, And metal detect on the water line in the sand, Sea grape beach, Is is another good place to metal detect in the water, Turtle trail beach access Beach florida, All of these are very good places. Some of the sand is very hard to dig up because it is sugar sand, Metal detect on low tide. You can't metal detect in the sand all day All day long.😢 You have to go in the water to metal detect also, About waste deep or so. That's where you'll find the good stuff. Metal detecting people they know where to go. They know what to do, You can't better detect in the sand all day long. You have to go in the water, People are just having to have a little fun. We are not a bunch of grave robbers. This is america home of the free, I think some of the florida rolls are absolutely stupid, About how you Cannot battle detect in the water, That is a bunch of Bullshit, So stay out of other people's business we're just trying to have some fun, I will be going to all these places too metal detect. And I will be going in the water. You can take that to the bank, This is United States of America home of the free. Is treasure coast beach laws? You cannot demand people. We are out there with our friends and family trying to enjoy the beach. You cannot check that away from us, And you can take that to the bank also🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😤

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

Found most everything worthwhile in the water/surf. This trip was impossible to do that without risking my life since there were very large waves from the hurricane. However, next trip that isn’t after a major storm, I’ll be in the water waist deep 👍. Happy hunting and thanks for watching!

[@jameshabovick8949]

Great hunting my friend, been hitting treasure beach pretty hard, kinda hard now with all the sand they have been dumping, but like Mel Fisher always said, Today is the Day

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

Shoot me a message when they do a beach renurishment haha. My line of thinking is they pump the sand from offshore some, where the wrecks are. They may pump some treasure up with it too haha. That is unless they are trucking in the sand. Not sure how they do it in the treasure coast though. Happy hunting and thanks for watching! Getting down there for another hunt in the spring, if not sooner 🤞

[@jameshabovick8949]

They are trucking it in, i wish they were pumping sand from off shore

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

@jameshabovick8949 that stinks. Wish they would use the dredge and pump the sand from the water and spit it on shore haha

[@jameshabovick8949]

Went south of Sebastian inlet hunting today, lots of aluminum slag, still to much sand,

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

@jameshabovick8949 dang. Was hoping this storm would strip some sand away. Was going to try to make the trip down. May be staying local and hitting my beach for a couple hours instead. Best of luck to you!!!

[@sandyadkins2637]

👏👏👏🎧💪🏼

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

Thank you again for watching! I will be releasing a 1733 treasure hunt video in the next week or so too, once I’m don’t editing. Thanks again!

[@Midwest10]

The wood came from my 1972 lawn chair I tossed in ocean. You can have it. Replaced.

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

😂😂😂

[@franksflytraps]

Killer finds!! did you use custom tone breaks and things, or just do the standard beach 1/2?

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

I hunted in all metal mode, beach 1/2 noise cancel and just did a ground balance every half hour or so haha. Anytime I went without getting a hit of some sort, I thought it was the detector 🤦‍♂️. So I would ground balance and noise cancel, but it was just me being impatient I guess and thinking I was doing something wrong or the sand/salt water was interfering with hits and not registering them. Live and learn. Sometimes it takes a while to have success. These finds were my first success with 1715 wrecks after multiple trips coming back empty handed outside of some cool shells and sore muscles. Best of luck to you and who knows, maybe I’ll see you down there next storm that is promising 👍

[@franksflytraps]

@@Burntchurchtreasurehunting Incredible!! Was it more of the vdi or the tones that made you dig them?

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

@franksflytraps anytime I had a tone, I dug. Lots of trash aluminum, but you never know. I read a lot of books saying ship spikes and other things can read similar to junk, so dig it all at shipwreck sites. Now when I go to the beach on coastal Carolinas around me for tourist lost treasure, I discriminate to kick out the pull tabs and bottle caps as they will drive you insane haha

[@Scrap5000]

OMG!!!!

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

Still talk about it almost daily, 1.5 years later haha. I wear the gold coin in a pendent around my neck daily too. Thanks for watching! Should be getting down there again in the fall to see if I can’t drum up anything else. This was my only successful trip down there out of quite a few, but persistence paid off finally haha

[@Scrap5000]

​@@Burntchurchtreasurehuntingso cool, would love to try this some day

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

You definitely should. Lots of fun, good exercise and you never know what you’ll find. Though 99% of stuff at the beach is trash, I always dig every target because you just never know. Best of luck!

[@cedarspecialist6112]

How long after Ian did you go? Thanks Chris

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

This trip was after Nicole. Hit the beach as soon as it was safe to walk out there haha. Drove down from SC to try to time the storms exit. Got pretty close but caught the end of the higher winds haha. Packed my truck fully expecting no power, so had extra fuel, food, water etc that was all usable with no power for days.

[@Hockeymyk]

do you know how much the gold coin weighed ?

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

It was right at 6.7 grams

[@jameshabovick8949]

Got a question my friend, how long should I soak a coin with coral all over it in olive oil, thanks buddy

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

I let this one soak for around a week. It’s more gentle than other methods like electrolysis which is why I chose it for this coin since it was much smaller than the 8 reale and more brittle. Every few days I would gently rub the build up and small parts would come off little by little. Best of luck and thank you for watching!

[@jameshabovick8949]

I found a half reale , I can see the imprint of a half cross, got it soaking buddy, thank you

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

@jameshabovick8949 awesome! Best of luck, hope it turns out well for you too :)

[@jameshabovick8949]

Thanks for your help, went today to the cabin wreck, found fishing weights, I go daily to different wreck sites here on the treasure coast

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

@jameshabovick8949 that is the dream to be able to hunt there daily. I have to settle for once or twice a year down there sadly. Happy hunting! Let me know what you find

[@timphillipsoutdoors924]

we went to McLarty last week on Saturday, found a few items, nothing major. One piece was space shuttle debris. We want to try Wabasso beach next time.

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

Found all of these pieces within 2 miles of mclarty. Wabasso would be a good spot. I’m going to down Douglas beach after next nor’easter or hurricane. I have the GoPros now for live footage like the video from the 1733 fleet. Just hope I’m in better shape this time around and it’s not 110 degrees like in the keys a month ago haha. Thanks for watching and best of luck!

[@michaelfercik3691]

Every treasure hunter needs to know that the physics involved in physical on-ground dowsing have recently been reverse engineered. Read and study the book : The Art of Dowsing - Separating Science from Superstition ($14.95), for learning all of the physics involved in dowsing and how to build the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod, which is the only dowsing rod that accurately gauges what is being dowsed by pitting the energy of gravity against the energizing of the one-tenth ounce dowsing rod load that is attached on the elevated acetylene welding rod, with being located five-inches from the hub's shaft. This precisely gauges the dowsing of all edges, exact center, depth buried with angle of deposition,and most important is grading of the sought element that is contained in the elemental mass that is being dowsed. Anyone can become a professional dowser by practicing the book's dowsing lessons of buried pipelines and electrical cables, tunnels and voids, precious metal placer and lode deposits, dowsing for treasure, dowsing for any element, amplified long distance dowsing from a moving vehicle, and dowsing on water from a boat. I hope dowsing enriches your life and have a safe, healthy, good day.

[@Burntchurchtreasurehunting]

I’ll have the check it out. Watched a few tv episodes a while back on dowsing for searching for lost gold mines etc. Thank for watching! If you wouldn’t mind subscribing to my channel, it would help greatly, plus I have some great treasure hunts on the treasure coast, Florida keys and Carolina mountains coming up soon too
