I Little Bit Of Spanish Silver

[Derek752]

I've pretty much focused on the Mohawk river and valley for the last 8 , 9 years and have found many amazing relics and hundreds of coins but Spanish swilver,though hard to come by,is out there and I've found a few nice pieces.

Photo's 1&2 are of my only 2 cobbs
Small cobb came from a shallow river fording spot
And the Big cobb came from me and my buds blockhouse/fort site.

Pix 3 are my reales
All 4 of these were dug at the blockhouse/fort area

Hopefull 2008 will have more Spanish coins !!

I think a cob would look good in my Spanish coin collection, it appears that cobs just were not circulating in southern NJ as much as I would like, my son and I have perhaps 40 pieces of Spanish Silver, but not one true cob.

Neil, even Wayne (from the SJMDC) in his C4 report had listed a few years ago 90 Spanish Silver found in NJ by him and only 5 of them were cobs (one of them a counterfeit).

So Derek, congrats on getting the cobs you have found, not an easy task, north of the Mason Dixon line.
