Spanish Silver found on the Beach :crazy:

[Surfdigger]

I attended my Metal detecting club's meeting last night. And one of our members had recently found a beautiful little Half Reale cob type coin, probably from the early 1700's or so. It was found on one of our beaches here at the Jersey shore too !! He also found a number of bronze ship spikes in the area as well. You never know what that next scoopful of sand will reveal!.....HH....Brian

Here it is........
