The coins were under debris that was uncovered while blowing.... they were well protected over the last 180 years....

They were not dredged
I sent you a PM. Just so everyone knows, these coins were minted on the West coast but gold rush era coins would be a good find anywhere. I'm not sure which mint they were from for sure, I suspect it was S minted.They even opened up a mint in Oregon.

Only Spanish galleons wrecked through this area were the Manila type.
