Ok guys here we go again! This Is The Best Of The Shark Pit & Grand Totals Part 3! It’s gonna be a long thread so if you hate long post fast forward to the 14 pictures or turn back now! This is going to take a few post to get all these pictures to fit. So just keep scrolling down until you get to the last page where I will add everything up & give you the Grand Totals! This thread represents my last 15 trips to The Shark Pit. For those of you who do not know about The Shark Pit, click here to read the story of this place and a list of frequently asked questions. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,42179.0.htmlFor Part One Click here. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,18502.0.htmlFor Part Two Click here. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,21670.msg142911.html#msg142911Now lets get to the pictures! The first picture shows why this place is called the Shark Pit. It shows over 50 shark & StingRay teeth! The 2nd picture is of some of my favorite finds from my last 15 trips. It shows a police badge (I blanked out the name) from a near by city, a #33 badge pin, a WW1 sweetheart pin that would be worn by the wife or mother of a soldier that was serving in the medical corps, 4 buttons, 6 cufflinks, 2 heart pins, a whistle, a 1913 baseball fan pin, a small shoe, a wishbone hat pin with a stone, 2 key tags, a brass pencil, a cool token from a saloon in Washington D.C., and other Misc. things! The 3rd picture shows all the cookie coins I’ve found. Some of them were part of the contest we had where I used electrolsis on them to see what they were and members would guess. The 4th picture shows all the Nickels & pennies I have found. There is Buffalo’s, V’s and one Jefferson nickels. All the pennies are wheat’s. Now scroll down for the next set of pictures! |

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!  I was thinking the same thing as Nana, I can't believe you found 93 bottles already. LOL This is a dream spot for metal detectorist/treasure hunters. How many teeth does a shark have Hmmm Just wondering how many more shark teeth are there. |

It makes my day every time I see a Shark Pit post. My mind wanders through the possibilities of how these items ended up in the water. Items from shipwrecks, tossed overboard from steamships, washed out to sea from the beach... Each item has a history. That's why I enjoy this hobby. Thank you for continuing to feed my need, since I can't find a darned thing when I hunt.

Thanks for all the replies everyone! So where is the pic of the chest you used to carry thm home in? Nice finds...and one other question...Why are you home? .....I wouldnt be able to stop! LOL! If I spent any more time there than I already do my wife would leave me! WOW!! You sure have been busy!!! So many nice finds. I have one question though. Do you have any room left in your house? He-he. Your real lucky to have such a hot spot. Keep the md swinging... RH
I might need to add a room to my house soon! Hey! Where is the LION ring ?
I found that last year. It is listed in part 2! UNBELIEVABLE!!!! I was thinking the same thing as Nana, I can't believe you found 93 bottles already. LOL This is a dream spot for metal detectorist/treasure hunters. How many teeth does a shark have Hmmm Just wondering how many more shark teeth are there. Thanks Penny! All sharks lose Thousands of teeth over their life time. So thousands of teeth for Each shark plus millions of sharks, plus Millions of years = never ending supply of sharks teeth to be found! Awsome finds! (as I hope I've mentioned previously) ... a bounty that deserves to be in "The Best of TreaureNet's" forum. Great work!. -Ben
Thank You nhbenz! R,

Well I'm glad you had a beer on me! LOL! I will never stop hunting it until it does run dry! And then I still will hunt it! It makes my day every time I see a Shark Pit post. My mind wanders through the possibilities of how these items ended up in the water. Items from shipwrecks, tossed overboard from steamships, washed out to sea from the beach... Each item has a history. That's why I enjoy this hobby. Thank you for continuing to feed my need, since I can't find a darned thing when I hunt.
Thanks Jack! My mind also wanders how someone lost some of these things I find. Were they swimming when they lost that ring? Did they drop that token & it fell between the boards of the pier? Did they drop that pocket watch in the water while casting a fishing rod? Was that hat pin stuck on a ladies hat that blew off her head & sank, than rotted just to leave the pin for me to find 100 years later? Did some guy lose that door key on the beach when his girlfriend picked up & shook the blanket they were laying on? It never ends & thank God it don't because I love it! Rob |

Great job, Rob! You should put together a "Shark Pit" story for Western & Eastern Treasures. Bet they'd love it!
