3 more gold and another big silver 5 peseta coin

[diggerfororo]

I hunted the last 3 days and had 1 gold each day. The most exciting find yesterday was another silver 5 peseta coin. This one is 1885 Alfonso Xll and was a unknown until I baked it and removed the crust. I have included a pix of the last 28 days gold (21) with the last 3 and before and after pix of the coin. I will be hunting the next 3 weeks with a friend from Ohio and will keep updating my finds. And YES I will be going back to where I found the 2 big coins. Happy Hunting

Thanks for the comment Numpty, I am 40k south of Alicante at Rojalas. A much better area than up north (less hectic) and calmer waters.

Hi Mr. T:

Thanks for looking. I baked this one. I soaked in olive oil for a few minutes and bake in oven at 250 degrees F. for 10 minutes. Remove and drop in cold water. Most of the crud will pop off. It dosen't work on all samples but that was the worse I have ever tried and it did a pretty good job.

Thanks for the comment Tank. I find somewhere around 60 to 70 percent bands and most are just plain. I will be wintering in your area next year, doing some drywashing and nugget hunting.
