    Copper cob 1

    Looking for what this may be

    Guessing copper content.

    Photo copper1 seems to show a reeded semi–circle under a castle.

    Photo copper1a shows a central shield with a rearing lion and curled tail facing left. On the extreme right outside the shield may be several numbers including either a 0 or O.

    No, but wish I had. Purchased online from a seller in Southern California. Said to have been found with a metal detector "eroding out of a hillside" after some bad fires.

    Re: Copper cob 1

    Can't provide coordinates. Description of site provided by seller suggests near the Pacific, but near the top of a ridge recently blackened entirely by fire. That should cut it down to just a few thousand acres ...

    <G> That's why it's called treasure hunting. Treasure finding is usually under the banner, isn't it.?
