I cast my banner vote, hell I still have not found any coins in the 1600's. Great finds buddy, I meant it from the beginning. Did you think I was being sarcastic?

I thought you were joking at first,I think it was the timing too,i didn't expect ppl to respond so fast,but regardless,I do appreciate everyones comments

These coins were minted undated, but are frequently mentioned as being 'struck after 1497'; a great find in any event.
Don....

Banner vote agreed.

 

[Scrappy]

Are you kidding?! Wow, that's an amazing find. There's not a person on this forum your find wouldn't knock the socks off of....

Just a question though...how do you know it's the third oldest site in America?

Unfortunately it's not the oldest find in the US as one comment said. I remember reading a post about a guy who found a (genuine) roman coin in a parking lot. Lol

Anyway, banner find. I'm putting in my vote

well scrap I never claimed it was the oldest coin found in America,its just my oldest,as to the site,you are aware florida has the oldest settlements right?

 

[slowwevo]

just a snippet from wiki
The first European known to have explored the coasts of Florida was the Spanish explorer and governor of Puerto Rico, Juan Ponce de León, who likely ventured in 1513 as far north as the vicinity of the future St. Augustine, naming the peninsula he believed to be an island "La Florida" and claiming it for the Spanish crown.[10][11] Prior to the founding of St. Augustine in 1565, several earlier attempts at European colonization in what is now Florida were made by both Spain and France, but all failed
now it is well established,at least one Portuguese explorer beat de leon by a decade

You never claimed it was the oldest coin found in America, a comment on this thread did, in jest. Thanks for the wiki anecdote.

We have rules that are enforced, anyone has issues with members address it with mod in private, NOT on the forum....

The assumption was also WRONG....

Thanks Treasure Hunter! That crap has been going on too long. I guess we need official, passport pics to go with our avatar now. Childish people these days.

Oh...man, I miss all the fun, I bet it was a great picture.

Back on to subject, can the OP give us more details on the coin itself? Denomination, mint etc Maybe a link to info on this coin? I know nothing!
