    Where are most cobs found?

    Where are Spanish cobs found generally? Other than Spain, what parts of the U.S., other parts of the world?? Thanks!

    Re: Where are most cobs found?

    Cobs are found anywhere the Spanish set their feet.

    They're still finding nice treasure shipwrecks off Florida but most are keeping it quiet these days and selling to collectors privately.

    One big Spanish gold ship was recently found off Florida and that news will come out soon.

    Southern California has millions of copper cobs. I know of one team that finds thousands every year (with a few gold and silver). They hunt the old Spanish trail.

    Re: Where are most cobs found?

    Spanish milled and, to a lesser extent, cob coinage circulated commonly in the early American colonies. Any site that dates back later than 1800 would be a candidate.

    Due to the great loss of Spanish shipping along the treacherous coastlines of Florida there are probably more cobs there and in adjoining waters than any other state in the US.

    Carribean basin and surrounding area.
    I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines.  I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.
