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?

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. ;D

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