Hey guys,
Broke out my new best friend...the mighty CTX...for a short low tide hunt after work. Recent storms had eroded a section of coastline and revealed promising new signs of a long ago buried foundation. After digging multiple flat buttons and lead round balls I knew I was in the right place. While most of the signals I dug came in weak and broken, there is no mistaking the sound of silver on a minelab machine... I sound I haven't heard in quite some time. To my excitement, out pops a larger silver cob- three times the size of the one I dug last year.
To remove the corrosion and the reveal the details underneath, I used a combination of lemon juice and baking soda paste- gently rubbing the solution between my fingers. Any help in dating/ reading the coin is greatly appreciated!
UPDATE Using the information provided by Tnet, I may have found a match! Phillip V- 4 Reale 13 gram, Mexico City Mint- 1701-1728.
Thanks for looking
