This evening after work, I was able to pick the crud off of the silver coin I found last night. I was hoping for something really old and spanish but I only managed something pretty old and british. I did a little internet research and came up with the 1891 Victoria Old Head Florin.
Not what I was hoping for but I am happy to add it to the loot chest.
My 1891 florin after crud removal, very corroded

You can just make out that it is Victoria's profile

Hopefully, I will get out tomorrow.
