I wasn't sure it was the real deal, I was worried it might be a a plated jewelry piece that fell out of a necklace that I found 6-inches deep,, during low tide on my east coast metal detecting trip, but I had a local coin expert look at the 2 escudos and he confirmed that I found a real Spanish gold coin 🪙!
Awesome day! Looking at the edge though, I do suspect it fell out of a necklace. Still need to dissolve some conglomerates and figure out a couple mystery items.
Of course there was plenty of misc. aluminum & fishing lures before my killer find. I started shaking when my eyes saw that gold coin in my scoop!
