If they were on the beach in 12" of sand for any length of time they would be black if they were silver.

I was just kidding too guys lol. So awesome that we can joke around without anyone getting their feelings hurt. Couldn't get away with it on another detecting forum I belong to. Kinda touchy over there lol

Oh man I wouldn't last a day on that site :-) I have a bit of an issue with serious. Not a very fun way to live. I do love that you guys are all good sports. Sometimes I wonder if I've gone too far but you boys seem to be right neck and neck with me when it comes to being an immature idiot lol

Hey who is this Treble Hunter guy anyway? And why does he think he can just barge into our conversation? We don't know this guy do we fellas?

 

[Old Dude]

Better question is : how does he type with fins instead of fingers?

 

[dirtlooter]

so there were a lot of fakes way back then? heart breaker.

They have a "cast" appearance in the photos.

I have not touched my AT Pro in two days, replaced it with my trusty ugly stick. Been chasing fish around, dreaming of 8 reales. I found a very interesting civil war site, just have to make sure it's legal to detect

George says if it gets too hot in Philly tomorrow, he knows a lake he will take Chris and me to. Says the silver and gold there hasn't been touched yet!

The coolest thing I found in my yard at the house I rented, is a 1982 Canadian Cent

It's hard to tell but it looks like one of the coins in the original post is a 1635 which would be an entirely different coin than the one you posted. The coins were hammered in during this time so the planchet was usually not perfectly centered which would result in the uneven edges. I'm not saying these coins are real but they could be. Here is an example of one up close

No problem. If you can, take some better pictures and post them. Maybe find a coin expert and let them have a look. I'd be way excited for your friend if they turn out to be real reales. Thoughts of 17th century shipwrecks come to mind.
