Glad to hear that you northerners are starting to get out and dig. I cain't wait to start seeing some posts/pics of you're finds. Down here we can hunt year-round but you guys/gals have the real old finds.
Florida's history is right up there with New England's. What I wouldn't give to live somewhere where I had a reasonable shot at a Spanish cob or doubloon. Who knows, I may eventually end up down there someday! I have family there, and I always love visiting!
