Long story short:
In the middle of the summer (4th of July weekend), one of our buddies brought his wife and family to Dutch Springs for the holiday weekend. She was at the waterpark with her children, having a good time. She was climbing the inflatable rock wall, and fell into the water. The cold water effected her hand, and her very expensive engagement and wedding rings dropped to the bottom (55 feet). A dive was attempted to find it that afternoon, without any luck. A dive early the next morning, after the sediment settled and the vis at depth got a little better, one of our divers found both rings in the muck. The dive took four minutes to locate the rings, that were still together in the set. Our buddy's wife was crying with joy. Finding a lost diamond ring in a quarry was quite a cool event. Seeing how happy she was was even better.

All I have seen lately is a few small emeralds found by the Mel Fisher group.
I did meet a woman (this dive season) on a dive boat offshore Boynton Beach that claimed to see many large emerald finds coming up years ago. She said she was working for Mel Fisher Inc at the time. I couldn't help but notice the $600 authentic Atocha coin around her neck
There is without a doubt 100's of millions in gold and silver coin still out there.
Its fun to dream about it!

I heard metel detecting in southern california is problematic becasue of certain minerals in the sand. Does anyone know anything about this? I heard it from a guy that used to hunt/metal detect the crushed coral of So. Florida.
