Hey Gator, I was with you from the first post and my response. I knew that yeah it was possible to be a counterfeit but ONLY if they had gone to all the trouble of using silver to make it!!! LOL
Way back when I started I used to do a lot of water hunting. I KNOW that black/sand/oxide crust VERY well!
I might have piped up but the "experts" were doing soooooo well, I just figured I'd watch and see how much rope they needed. LOL
Great find! But, since I like coins, I'd rather not find them in saltwater.
HH!

OH! I see......I guess the fishing reel was letting an awful lot of "drag" out before the hook was set.Hey Gator, I was with you from the first post and my response. I knew that yeah it was possible to be a counterfeit but ONLY if they had gone to all the trouble of using silver to make it!!! LOL

OH NO! Don't be pulling on the one who's doing the leg pullage! LOLOH! I see......I guess the fishing reel was letting an awful lot of "drag" out before the hook was set.
It is why I don't water hunt much anymore though. Coins are my thing.

Treasure is where you find it. I think everyone was just trying to help and nobody has any hard feelings. Nice fish.

No...
I don't have any feelings...I mean hard feelings :-)
Well..here's the beat up old girl.
I wish the coins from this spot held up like the pewter buttons.

Real or contemporary counterfeit, it's still a cool find.

oh yeah that salt water and sand combo really does a job on silver coins. I'm surprised that thing came out even recognizable. Here is some silver I pulled out of my beach last week and they were only buried 50 to 70 years
