1733 treasure fleet coin...on fri. 13th AGAIN !!

[Blak bart]

This is the second treasure fleet coin in the last couple weeks !! And it's the second time I've found a treasure coin on Friday the 13th !! What are the odds....that's just crazy luck. I found my avatar on friday Oct. 13th 2017, and now this one today friday sep 13 2019. It's a little one or two reale....I'll have to weigh it. It's a beautiful little heart shaped piece....looks to have some good details left too. Strong north east winds are making conditions ideal.....I've got to pound it before my conditions window closes. Guess lightning can strike twice !! Here it is as dug. One of the Cleanest ones I've ever dug.


Nice little crest on the back. Happy hunting guys and good luck out there peeps.

Couldn't have happened to a more determined guy.......your persistence pays off. Huge congrats, now go find smore

Thanks villagenut !! You just hit on the most important part of the equation.......determination is the key to success!! If you know they live there and your in the right spot.....then all there is to it is being determined enough to pound it out and find one....no matter how long it takes !!

^^ meant to be Bart,meant to be

 

[RTR]

Bart can you make out any of the date ?

 

[Blak bart]

Nope.....I don't see dates on these smaller cobbs very often roger !!

 

[ARC]

Thanks ARC....guess I better ride the luck out and hit it every day that conditions allow. Your right ARC.....pretty hard for me to hit the swim holes for gold drops when there's a possibility of finding treasure cobbs. I want old spanish gold !!

WHEN... repeat WHEN...you find that first gold escudo..........

You will forget they even made the silver ones. :P

 

[Blak bart]

Gosh I hope your right ARC !!

 

[ExcalSam]

Thanks. Doesn't look like the tides will be in my favor till the 21st though

Gotta try though !! You just never know.

 

[ARC]

Nah... the silvers are always sweet,.. always have been... always will be.

So... whats the dealio yo...

what years / mint etc?> both

 

[trdking]

Amazing!! Nice work Bart

 

[Blak bart]

Thanks trdking....its been a lucky month for me for sure !!

 

[Blak bart]

ARC....the 8 reale was a OMF 173? I think one. On the little one I see no date or mint mark but the crest and Jerusalem cross give it away as a mexican 1730s piece more than likley.

 

[alaskaseeker]

[Blak bart]

Thank you much alaskaseeker !! Happy hunting.

 

[Blak bart]
