Awesome ! Would love to hunt some Florida beaches where those cobs show up after beach storm erosion.

Well tom hit it right on the head. STORM BEACH EROSION. coins dribbiling out of the sand as it erodes.

Got a new storm going through there on the West coast. Maybe more cobs? Certainly more adventure!

I can see why you joined TNet, and we're glad you did. The entertainment value AND the inspiration.

Crusty cob partially preserved along with maravedi and 2 or 4 reale from same site

I heard about the storm going through there and wanted to head right out. But i can't really afford that trip right now.

What was your total coin count on days like that ? Like were you getting a lot of clad, and/or USA old coins as well on those days ?

 

[Tuberale]

I too would like to know what else you found on "... days like that?"

 

[Blak bart]

To answer tom in ca, ya usually I end up with a handful of coins like these. I have found some nice silver coinage like Mercury's, standing liberties, barbers, etc. But most of it is usually modern coinage thats half rotted after a week in the water. I have found a lot of gold and silver and platinum jewlery over the years. I will post more pics of other things in the future. Im slowly learning to navigate this site its my first day and a bit challenging. I have cigar boxes of coinage like this. My son thinks its great. Its all treasure to him. Maybe ill re bury it some day. I gather a lot of aluminum and trash too. Its not all glory like the money shots. Determination and putting in time does pay off in the end. I cant figure out how to like someones finds yet its driving me nuts!!
