Patriot 1776 Hello!
I'm not an expert, but I read a lot. I have a book on Spanish coins and participated in a forum numismatics, in reading plan, my skills are limited.
I'm glad all the findings of the forum members, but especially with the old Spanish silver.
These coins were found on the beach. Approximately in the same place but with a year apart. Apart from these two silver fleece, also I found two copper coins. A 1520 approx. and another of 1782. Each year found a silver and copper. This variety of dates surprised me. They could be all of the same wreck or abandonment of a dilapidated boat, which tace on the beach to prudrirse wood and disappear. I've done a lot of research because I was very surprised to find them. The beach is no place of shipwrecks, or landings. It was not used as berthing or scrapping graveyard for ships. The village to which the beach belongs has a beautiful and safe harbor. My explanation is that many years ago the port was dredged. Finding several wrecks, some very old. Sand dredge the bottom of the harbor, it poured on the beach. And I think, therefore, that there were coins.
On one occasion I used the Garrett AT PRO and on another occasion a Sovereign minilab.
And I am always at your disposal for any information that can lend, gladly.
one Patriot greeting
