🥇 BANNER Treasure coins...cut spanish silver, and 1659 marevedi in the same hole !!

[Blak bart]

Oh brother....got down to a well known treasure beach. I knew they were in the middle of a beach renourishment that will seal this spot under rock, brick, and concrete. There was a slim chance that between back hoes and excavators that I might be able to sneak in and get a coin or 2 before this spot is done for good !! Well it was worth it and I got a 1659 marevedi and a cut spanish silver in the same hole...within 4 inches of each other !! What a thrill !!




Both coins are uncleaned and as dug.....you can see that they were free of saltwater for the most part, as they are not to corroded. The marevedi is killer with all sorts of counter stamps and markings ive yet to decipher. Ill have to start researching to understand what im seeing. I guess there is a slight chance that this coin is a 1559...?? Not quite sure yet. Not sure how these coins were made but almost looks hammered.
The cut silver does not show much right now but I can see some details struggling to come out. The faint print of a cross is there under a sulfide crust. Distinct cut marks on 2 sides....still wondering what denomination it is....not sure if ill ever know. What a thrill...getting right up in there during the dig and snatching some coins out !!
Big shout out to islamoradamark.....thanks for sharing the excitement with me and digging with me !! Wooo hoooo !! Treasure coins !! A little bitter sweet knowing that many other coins were dug and loaded into dump trucks and hauled away....at least I saved a couple of them....got a nice Concho or rosette also....got to take a pic !! Thanks for looking and happy hunting folks !! Woooo hoooo !!



Rosette, Concho, not sure ??
6.6 on the cobb !!

You deserve it ! Couldn't happen to a more dedicated(Spanish treasure) hunter Chances like this only come once in a while,maybe once in a lifetime

 

[billb]

Bart,for sure.... Yes... Let it be known to the people...,like AARC says you are already more than a expert,,It would be a great idea perhaps a jacket patch or some other award signifying your accomplishments could be made

 

[billb]

Bart,,it’s such a honor for me to be able to see all your incredible finds my friend ,,congrats on your banner,,

 

[Blak bart]

Thank you Roger and bill....its my honor to save these treasures and present them to be seen !! Its been an insane 3 days !! Im not sure if its totally done now but here's som nice pics for everyone.....gotta luv the spanish treasure.

So since the marevedi and the 2reale, we had a 4 reale, then we got a slightly clipped 8 reale cobb, and then an incredible milled 1733 8 reale pillar dollar !! After that i got a whole full size 8 cobb !! I cleaned 2 and left the others. Had to do the pillar dollar, its a masterpiece that must be seen at its best.


I cleaned the 4 reale from the 2nd day, and boom, a partial date ?733, 1733.

The rest will stay as is...for now ?
It was nice to see some details pop, even though the strike was ok...its a nice dated 4 reale.





My head is spinning....im goin ta bed . That should give everyone sweet dreams !!

Wow Bart, 6 total that turned out to be some honey hole

 

[pepperj]

If there was a 6 pack to be remembered in life-it certainly would be that one.
I don't I have ever stared at anyone's mitt before for such a long period of time.
That's a handful of beautiful looking treasure coinage.

That 6 pack deserves a 12 pack
