We took a trip to Jamaica for my cousins wedding and of course the ETrac came along for the trip. ;)

No gold like I hoped. At least there wasn't a S,Flight,HOS :lol:
The second day on the beach I nabbed a small 925 heart shaped Tiffany & Co piece.

I'm not sure what it's from?

That would end up being the only precious metal found during the trip. But that's OK.
One thing that I like to find while detecting is coins from different countries. That's one thing I did find a few of!

Here's what the beach gave up in non-U.S. coins.

The flip sides.

Besides the U.S. coins, I've ID'ed, Jamaican, Canadian, Russian, one from Chilli, a 20 Euro Cent, and a couple I haven't ID'ed. And one I probably won't be able to ever ID because of the corrosion. I'm sure it's a coin off of old pirate's ship that just washed ashore. :pirate::lol:

If I ever go back I'll have to get me a water machine for sure.

Thanks for lookin'! :grin:

Some cool finds! Yep, a water machine would be a big plus there. Luckily I didn't have to leave Wisconsin for my Jamaican coin

You look so relaxed...what's that white stuff on your hat???:lol:

I have to agree that the non-id'd coin is definitely pirate treasure.

Wow Tim, looks like a blast down there! Love the pic with the bird. It's not often you can find $20 coins either! Glad you had a good time. Best wishes and HH, Dave.

Lots of interesting coins that you found too, stuff that we don't find here on the mainland. :thumbsup02:

I hope you had a great time!

Nice, Tim. That Tiffany item looks like a pin missing the... pin. I enjoyed Jamaica when I went there, but It was quite a few years ago. Met the rapper Snow (it was the 90's..lol) and was able to have strawberry daiquiris even tho I was like 12. I stayed at the Grande in Ocho Rios. Loved Dunn's River falls, too.
