Thank you! I was very close to stopping for sure, I was exhausted and getting overheated. Going to get the coin put in a bezel soon too to wear as aside from the gold 2 escudo find from 1715, I think it’s may favorite since it has a partial legible date, and this time my family was there with me to witness it, unlike hunting right after hurricanes haha. Thanks again for watching!
Thank you! This sand was much tougher digging here than on Vero Beach sand. Glad I didn’t come up empty handed. While tinier, the 4 reale is still a pretty cool find and outside of the gold 2 escudo, my favorite find ever since some of my family was there with me to see it
Thank you! Finally have the cameras now after many years of hunting, to document it and make videos haha. Go out and give it a try, it’s great exercise too. Thanks again for watching and don’t forget to subscribe for much more to come 👍
Thank you so much for watching!!! Very much appreciated and glad I was able to find something. I was absolutely exhausted at the end, hence why I could barely lift scoops of sand out of the holes at that point haha. Sad thing is, I am relatively younger and in decent shape too haha. At least that’s what I tell myself 😂
Thank you for watching! Well worth the investment if for nothing else, the adventure and exercise. I don’t always have fortune finding things, buts it’s always fun. The times I get blanked finding items well out weighs the treasures found, I just don’t make videos of those trips haha
Thank you! Definitely once in a lifetime. Been hunting many many times down there and never found anything except modern coins and jewelry and 99% garbage
Thank you, still excited about it even though I find it 10 or so days ago haha. Much more to come too! Don’t forget to subscribe for more videos to come of more treasure hunts etc
It really is. Then you find something cool and makes it all worth while too in terms of the work that goes into hunting. Thank you so much for watching, much more to come down the road!
That is totally great information I love to go visit this islamorada Beach and go start my new journey and see what I find with my new equinox 900 👏👏👏😁😁😁💯
Love Florida beaches for sure. Thank you so much for watching! Don’t forget to subscribe for more videos to come, and a aerial tour of Islamorada area too.
Completely agree. Most people think treasure hunters that post videos find stuff non stop. What they don’t see is all the hunts that we come up empty handed and don’t make a video of lol. Thanks for watching, much more to come down the road 😊
Nice hunt and awesome coin! Is there certain areas your not allowed to hunt due to certain individuals who put claims?? Hopefully you’ll get more finds in the near future without interference
To my knowledge, only spots that are no no’s are private property without permission or under water wrecks already claimed or protected by the state. Same with 1715 beaches too. Getting ready for another hunt down there this winter, hoping to search for some gemstones from one wreck in particular too 🤞
Lots of time spent, but great exercise and well worth the payoff. Thank you so much for watching! Much more to come, don’t forget to subscribe for many future treasure hunts to come
Why did I think all water hunting near wrecks was off limits? You mentioned the wreck site and planned to detector the water. Up on the treasure cost I have always heard, only beach detecting only.
Wasn’t planning to detect the wreck site, was planning to water detect sandbars in other spots there. I wanted to dive the wreck just to see it, not detect it. Yes treasure coast is beach only unless you have a permit.
Part of this was a residence rented, others were public accessed via boat. Would be hard to find a trail to walk through to get the access on the sand, so we had a boated rented anyways. Tried using the nokta makro underwater at the sand bars too, found nothing but bottle caps and pull tabs sadly.
Lots of internet searching. Also a lot of books. If you search online 1733 Florida keys treasure fleet books, you can find a few good ones. Takes a bit more digging to find info than the 1715 fleet or atocha.
@@Burntchurchtreasurehunting Thanks! Yeah i've been looking for a book to pic up with maps. plenty of cool maps on images but i want to read the info too. much appreciated
No problem. Mdhtalk has a good one that’s like 150+ pages on the 1715 fleet too. I used that as a guideline when I started searching those wrecks a few years back. Empty handed many trips, but had some great finds in 2022 after hurricane Nicole. Best of luck to you, thank you for watching and happy hunting! Stay in touch too if you want, always love chatting with fellow hunters/history buffs haha
@@Burntchurchtreasurehunting I also found the dive guide to wrecks of the keys at florida keys vacations as well. Now I just have to learn to dive and get a crazy expensive underwater detector hahah cheers
Could you have legally used the metal detector on a known ship wreck? I thought if you were not a subcontractor to the lease holder or shipwreck rights owner it was illegal. Thanks for any information
Correct, I couldn’t use it in the water on a known wreck site with a lease on it or protected. On the beach or sand is fair game though unless is a state park or posted signs that you cannot detect. Check local laws too before going out
I’ve seen some that have come out much cleaner than this one did. Jonah Martinez found a handful of them a few years back on the beach from 1715 fleet that came out with crazy detail, almost like the day they went down. I have found a few encrusted to the point you can’t tell what it is, I have found them decently detailed like this one. Thank you for watching and happy hunting to you
@groundskeeper5292 awesome! Good luck. They’re doing some work on the sides of the roads on Islamorada too and hearing rumors of people searching by the construction after hours finding things, since they’re digging up hundreds of years of dirt and sand and moving it 😬. Thanks for watching! More to come….
I have a couple of questions. First of all let me say something about myself. I have been metal detecting beaches for 30 years. I was a treasure diver for four years. I found over 350 Spanish gold coins, and hundreds of silver reales. OK now onto my questions. First of all you were on a beach that has zero erosion. You’re finding aluminum all over the place and there is seaweed at the site. Almost 0 odds of finding any treasure at that site. And then there’s your reaction after finding the coin. This find happened after you found gold and silver Spanish coins on a 1715 site. I’m sure you researched them afterwards. So you know exactly what a real looks like. And you came down to this page specifically hunting shipwreck coins. Yeah, when you found it, you said what is this? Is that a coin? I hope it’s a coin. It’s obviously a real. Yet you did not say that. And then you identified it as a two real. So you went from not knowing what it was to knowing that it was a 2 real. Also, if I found a Spanish coin at the beach, I would have stayed until the batteries in my metal detector died. I would’ve dug that whole beach up. Your video ended right after the fine. I thought that was weird. And finally, of all the hundreds of Spanish coins that I found that were in shallow water, or on the beach, had some kind of crust on them kind of like an Oreo cookie, and also the vast majority of them had a green tint. Both of your silver coins have a black patina that looks like it was put on there by somebody. You can take a perfectly shiny silver coin and put it in a Ziploc baggie with egg whites, and it will turn black overnight. Very simple to do. I’m not accusing you of anything. I’m just making observations. Another thing, you only show the shipwreck finds. Normally when somebody finds stuff like that, they find a shit load of modern coins and jewelry also. Or musketballs. You have nothing else to show. That is very suspicious.
First off, thank you for your watching and response. I only tend to show videos when I find things. No one wants to watch normal coins being dug up. Tested that theory with my latest video and no one watched it. Went hunting again today, nothing but modern coins and there will not be a video posted of that hunt, or the one last week or the week before that. By the time I found the what turned out to be a 4 reale, I was exhausted and sunscreen burning through my eyes, so no, I couldn’t tell what it was right away. I did go back to the same site the following day as well (stayed close to the site for a week) and the following 2 days after. Found nothing but junk, so again no video. Beach I was on was private property as well, located almost directly across from a 1733 wreck site. I will have to start showing every find when I go hunting, though my research there shows people won’t stayed tuned for the whole video, which hurts the TH-cam algorithm to not show your stuff. I’ll have to try the egg white thing though, never heard of that before. Fun experiment with the kids at least. Been hunting for many years, only 2 with a gro pro in tow, and this is the only worth while find in that time to make a video of sadly. Again, thank you for watching and your observations as well, but this is nothing but genuine finding. Again I don’t post videos of finding all the garbage as it does get views and my video from last month on HHI beaches shows that. 1 hour condensed of modern coins, a broken silver necklace and tiny gold necklace. 600 views in a month, where normally it would get thousands and the click through rate is so bad that TH-cam doesn’t even suggest the video anymore. Best of luck hunting to you!
I’ll be down in Vero next decent storm or favorable condition. In the mean time, stuck hunting tourist beaches here in SC which normally produce more trash than it’s worth sometimes. Best of luck to you!
😂. I will gladly post the whole video if you’d like, you can watch all 4 hours to get to the good part if you’d like. Figured I’d spare people the time and fast forward vs have people click off after a minute because watching someone walk for hours is pretty boring. Thanks for watching anyways and sorry to disappoint your theory, but this was 100% found, not planted. I’ll make sure next hunt I put up the whole video for you though.
its real. i live there and we find them all the time. many ships went down here in hurricanes loaded with goodies. Have something in vinegar (eats off the coral) outback right now. Not sure what it is yet.
@CountingSunsets thank you for the support! People call into question when they see a video showing it. What they don’t see are the dozens of other hunts that produced 0 and no videos made because finding nothing well, isn’t interesting at all haha. Thank you for watching and your support again and happy hunting to you!
I’ve been hunting there many times. First find of significance. However, it doesn’t stop me from coming back twice a year to hunt more 🏴☠️. Best of luck to you too and thanks for watching!
Definitely not the same coin or even close. Take another look and you will see the major differences. Vero one is an 8 reale, double the size of this one and again, not even close. Thanks for watching, but you may want to edit your comment once you see the differences 😉
@@Burntchurchtreasurehunting Not sure what the other guy sees, but pretty big differences in the coin found here and the ones from vero. That fact that this coin appears dated after the ships in 1715 sank is a telltale sign
Yeah I didn’t want to get into that much detail, but good spot! 1715 fleet sank 15 or so years before this coin found here was minted. Not to mention it’s half the size of the 8 reale found on Vero. Thanks for watching!
@somebeachdetecting thought the same thing. Found some before where you can’t see or make out a thing, others that come out without encrustation. I’ll never understand it. 1715 fleet coins found on the beach come out with crazy detail sometimes too, seen quite a few from other detectorists after storms that come out toned and that’s about it.
You have a good thing going here with these videos! 👍
Thank you again for watching!
Congratulations on the coin , so glad you didn’t give up !
Thank you! I was very close to stopping for sure, I was exhausted and getting overheated. Going to get the coin put in a bezel soon too to wear as aside from the gold 2 escudo find from 1715, I think it’s may favorite since it has a partial legible date, and this time my family was there with me to witness it, unlike hunting right after hurricanes haha. Thanks again for watching!
I seriously need to go treasure hunting. That coin looks awesome. Congrats on the find!
Thank you! This sand was much tougher digging here than on Vero Beach sand. Glad I didn’t come up empty handed. While tinier, the 4 reale is still a pretty cool find and outside of the gold 2 escudo, my favorite find ever since some of my family was there with me to see it

At least that’s what I tell myself 😂
I have to buy metal detecting to live this wonderfull experience ,Thanks for this amazing video ,
Thank you for watching! Well worth the investment if for nothing else, the adventure and exercise. I don’t always have fortune finding things, buts it’s always fun. The times I get blanked finding items well out weighs the treasures found, I just don’t make videos of those trips haha
Awesome coin find, once in a lifetime find
Thank you! Definitely once in a lifetime. Been hunting many many times down there and never found anything except modern coins and jewelry and 99% garbage
Very nice find
Thank you so much! Lots of persistence and hard work finally paid off. First find in the keys after many years of searching
Nice!

Best of luck!! Let me know how you like the 900 too. I’ve heard good things. Thanks for watching!!!
I sure will I definitely will hit you up thanks for all your good advice and hits😂🙏🏼🙏🏼 a great luck to you too@@Burntchurchtreasurehunting
@judyhernandez9636 thank you!
nice video
Thanks for watching! Much more to come
That’s really cool, I’m inspired to find one of my own now
Lots of fun and good exercise for sure. Best of luck and thanks for watching!
That is a spot that you would want to use a big coil and go very slowly and listen for a very faint tone
Things could be very deep ❤
Nice dude, very nice find
Thank you! Still in shock but glad to find it for sure. Have struck out the rest of the year after so far 🤦♂️. Thanks for watching!
3:19 I hope u find something
Nothing beats Florida's Beaches! nothing like Santa Monica!
Love Florida beaches for sure. Thank you so much for watching! Don’t forget to subscribe for more videos to come, and a aerial tour of Islamorada area too.
@@Burntchurchtreasurehunting An aerial would be amazing I will keep my eyes peeled!
It will drop this Friday. More open water stuff and come beach action too. And a little history too lol
🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Nice.
Thank you!
Luck is where you find it
Completely agree. Most people think treasure hunters that post videos find stuff non stop. What they don’t see is all the hunts that we come up empty handed and don’t make a video of lol. Thanks for watching, much more to come down the road 😊
Gratz on the coin ! Now you can sell it and buy yourself a decent pin pointer.
No kidding haha. Had it made into a pendent to wear. Picked up a good pinpointer after the trip though 😃

Do you have any problems with keeping what you find? Does the State want you to report findings?
If I were diving and discovered a shipwreck, I would have to report. Finders keepers on the beaches though 😊
@@Burntchurchtreasurehunting Ok
@pirateofmiamibeach good luck out there!
@@Burntchurchtreasurehunting You too. I am waiting for a storm to find a spot for old treasure. Maybe north of Vero
That’s a very good spot! Found some really cool stuff there too. Maybe I’ll see you there next storm 👍😊
Why are you using the scoop as just a shovel instead of as a scoop and sifter as it's designed?
Muck and sand would not sift in this terrain. Didn’t have a shovel either otherwise I would have switched. Would have saved my back haha
Was there re-bar in that wall?
Yes there was some here and there. Lots of false signals which drove me nuts
I have never seen a silver coin come out of the surf or come out that clean from the beach after being buried for three hundred years.
I’ve seen some that have come out much cleaner than this one did. Jonah Martinez found a handful of them a few years back on the beach from 1715 fleet that came out with crazy detail, almost like the day they went down.

Fill your holes and take the trash you find and dispose of it properly!
I did off video. It was private property I was on and had helpers picking up the trash too. I just didn’t film that part
Super, if you film that part I promise folks will appreciate it 😀@@Burntchurchtreasurehunting
@scottybugman next time I sure will. I have video of it, it just got cut when editing. Happy hunting!
Nice video but the music is slighty annoying and unnecessary if you don't mind me saying buddy.
