I took a ride to a different beach in NC on Saturday and dug up a bunch of clad (7 or 8 dollars) which went to the gas fund. Then I dug up what i thought was the find of a lifetime. A Spanish Gold cob or coin. I was thrilled to find this piece. I thought I had found my best piece ever!. The obverse of the coin was pretty clean but the reverse had some salt and sand stuck to it so i put it in my cig pack and figured i'd clean it up when i got home to some fresh water. I learned last weekend not to get my hopes up too high after finding what i thought was a 5 - 6 ct diamond ring which turned out to be CZ. A closer inspection of the coin told me something wasn't right. The light reflecting off it at an angle gave a slight coppery color. Sure enough , when i got home and rinsed the salt and sand out of the detail, I saw the word "copy" in small letters stamped into it. Another huge disappointment ,,,but i enjoyed the thrill anyways and it's a nice find regardless.
