Sounds like your trip up the creek paid off. Good on you mate. No coin expert here but, there are a few on T-net so hopefully some will check your post. Well done.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Nice find on the Rosa. I got a couple of them and they are a bugger to clean. I recall reading that due to mistakes in the minting process (to much heat generated) it caused the metal to have that pimply look after a couple hundred years in the ground. I've seen some guys use electrolysis to clean their Rosas and they came out ok, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. But with yours, seeing that you already have some shiny copper from cleaning it, maybe that's an option. That's a cool find. And finding that Spanish silver just a couple of feet away, makes that a pretty cool pocket drop recovery.

Thanks for the comments. The front of the KG1 Rosa is worse than the back. Looking at the options for cleaning it but being super cautious due to the rarety and potential value. Planning a trip back to the site next week to continue to grid out the site and see what else is out there.

Wow! You did a GREAT job on that Rosa! I have a couple of slick coins with nothing to lose so I am going to try some electrolysis on them tomorrow. So far, I have only done iron relics. Do you have any tips for doing coins?
