Wow that's awesome!
 

Wow! Shipwreck coins? We need some pics when you get them cleaned up!
 

Wow great find, they look old
 

Oh my God ! You look to have multiple Spanish 18th century silver coins !!! Stunning -and surely BANNER after we see what you have !
 

Wow, nice find. Please let us know what they are when you crack them open? If they are silver, which I think they are then it wont hurt them to be opened up. They may need a short burst of electrolysis if the have been in the drink for hundreds of years.
Keep us posted.
ZDD
 

Holy smokestacks!!

Before doing anymore cleaning, you might want to wait for a few preservation tips from
some TNet members. . . (I know, waiting can be a difficult thing to do LOL)
 

This SEAHUTER 2 ROCKS!!!!!

Any ideas about cleaning / seperating??

i have them in a jar of sea water - and I'm just sitting here staring, mumbling....

"dont get the Dremal, dont get the Dremal......"

HELP!
 

That is so cool!:occasion14: It's going to be like opening presents on Christmas morning. :thumbsup:
 

holy coral that is freaking cool
 

I'd be going back to that area and hitting it again!
 

Watercolor got it right - PLEASE wait until you have the info you need to confidently separate/clean these coins - the info will be
forthcoming , there are plenty of veteran underwater hunters who know what to do here !

SEND PHONE NUMBERS!!!!

If I ain't sleeping tonight - the experts ain't sleeping neither!!!!!:laughing7:
 

Amazing! It's like dangling steak in front of a lion, but just out of reach! Can't wait to see them separated!!!!
 

Great find! I would go back for the rest lol. Can't wait to see the pics :)
 

I don't know much, but I have heard that breaking a find like this out of its clump is a "No, No"... I'd keep them AS IS and have them looked at by maybe a grading company.... It would be nice if you knew what ship they may have been in at that location... Also could be more out deeper in the water or in that area... Wow, this is insane... I'll vote banner !! You have some work ahead of you and possible sunken ship wreak filled with Gold Doubloons !! Amazing !!

keep @ it and HH !!
