Now I know what to do next time I'm there hehe....dive for treasure!
i've always wanted to bring my metal detectors up to the north coast beaches for fun.you never know what you may come across one day.hopefully someone will stumble across some 1700 spanish treasure that got washed up on the beach.today's the day! i heard 2 spanish ships sunk at la samana bay.good place to start! if anyone had some luck with this throw some old dogs a bone.
After heavy storm surf there are a bunch of locals walking the beach looking for lost tourist gold. They often find very nice stuff. They are on the beach at daylight.
