Lucky #13 Cob is my best one yet

[toasted]

I went swinging at my early river site from last year. Its only my third or so trip there this year. Signals are so hard to come by I sorta wrote it off. Found some lead, buckle frag and a little paste stone button. All mid tones or lower. Only sweet signal of the night and in an area Ive pounded, was a really nice 1664 Potosi mint 1 real cob My first dated cob

Nice Cob, Toasted. On a side note, we visited Potosi a number of years ago and saw where a lot of that silver was mined.

Thanks. Sounds like a cool trip. On another side note, the paste stone button appears to have the Potosi style cross within it. Kinda hard to get a good photo of it though

Great cob! Saving up your karma for one great hit?

 

[CRUSADER]

Cool. Still looking for my first cob, it might be awhile until I post one. CONGRATS, looks nice!

This is an excellent find! Congrats. I really really want to find a cob! If you have a minute look up Potosi silver mining. The history of it is amazing and tragic. Millions of people died there in pursuit of the silver some by choice and others by force.

Thats a heck of a cob. Better than any of my 1 reales for sure. That cross is super. My cob sites also produced some nice gem cuff link buttons with inlays beneath. I was able to wet mine and take outside in the bright sun to get pics. Play with it wet in the sun and see if you can get a clearer image. Love that cuff link button too!
