    I agree with Kane's date range. Very sure it was a 1715 fleet coin. Private mail me if you want more info, Regards, Stan

    What storm was that? A Northeaster? Would like to see pics. Did you see that HUGE emerald that girl found looking for seashells in March 2007?


    Nice 1715 Fleet 8 reale! 8)
    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.

    It was a Northeaster probably 8 years ago. Don't ask me how many times I went hunting and never found anything. I'm hoping for the royal eight next.

    I missed the Emerald find and can't find any information on it.
