Bomber,
Very interesting discovery. I just tried to draw what you described. It sounds like some kind of token. I'm really not sure what kind, just a guess. There are many members on this forum that have shown many different kinds of tokens but without a pic it will be hard to identify even for them.
I had problems at first with pictures. I think the kb (kilobyte) size limit is 140kb. You must have a digital photo saved on your computer in a file. You can use digital cameras, scanners, or even still shots from video cameras. You do of course have to have them on your computer or a disc or floppy. When you see the "attach" click browse and find the photo you want and click open.
Good luck with the detecting & with the pics,
Smartin

Hey bomber, what have you gone and done? Sounds very cool!
If it was deep say 3 to 5 inches or so and it came out looking clean gold...it's most likely gold.
Repros of Spanish coins have been made out of all metals. But this doesn't mean yours is a repro.
Actually, Spanish coins can be found most anywhere in the U.S. I have a friend who has dug several real gold coins like you described. He follows the old Spanish trails in California. But often these coins were carried all over this country.
I hope the best for you.
Whatever it turns out to be....nice find!

As a general rule subtract 50% (or more) from all depth claims.
