A Lot of Fun & Determination Pays Off... Finally, an 8 Reale!
I've been following treasure.net for the past year, & finally made my first post this morning under "My Best Finds- Treasures of the Shallows". Then I decided to go down to the southern part of the island on the Caribbean side. The site is a bay with 3 shipwrecks. One from 1741, the other 2 I'm unsure of the dates. Started finding musket balls & a few copper spikes. Just snorkeling & fanning out the sand from the crevices & holes in the rock... Then, I lifted up a small rock. Lo & behold there was a HUGE coin. I was still shaking when I yelled for my wife. Finally, after much anticipation, I found my first piece of 8! (1794 Mexico City Mint) I also found 2 small cannon balls & a bar shot, but I'll post pics later.
