3rd cobb in 2 days...4 reale !!

[Blak bart]

just trying to save what I can from this spot....watched them haul off treasure filled sand all day....finally got one toward the end of the day right on the edge of US1 !!
So should I clean it up for jewelry piece or leave it be ?? Its right where it should be for a 4 reale...13.7 grams !!
I will keep it up as long as I can....there can't be but 2 more days of hunting before everything is sealed up until the next cat 4-5 hurricane

That sand berm in the middle is good treasure bearing material.....it will be sealed off from detecting until mother nature says different !! Locked under a carpet of brick. Workers have been great to us....giving us every chance possible to get some spanish treasure !! Today when I got to work everyone looked at me and said what are you doing here....you should be treasure hunting while you can....so I left work at noon and was at the spot hunting all afternoon !! So glad to have the support from my boss....hurry up and get down there and get some treasure is all he said !! Happy hunting folks !!


No marks...silver ring....2 feet from cobb....simple design. This all leads me to believe its treasure wreck related. I could be wrong but I've never seen an un marked silver ring in today's day and age....if it ain't marked 925...its usally not silver.

Wow....its cleaning up great !!
Full lions and partial castles on this dated 1733 omf mint marked 4 reale cobb....definatly got a nice clean chunky dated 4 reale...dang she's a beauty.

All I can say is wow !! What a great treasure coin !! Took less than 20 minutes to clean up !!

You need to arrange a giant sifter in the dump bed of those trucks.

Good find my friend

Bart, you are killing it! Your excitement is contagious. I hope you recover a lot more treasure before the window of opportunity closes. We are all cheering for you!

Bart... I have one that looks almost exact to your #4.

Hell ya pepper....I just sit in the truck with the door open and my feet propped up and watch em dig and haul off the treasure sand. When there's a chance or a break im in there....get in there and get something quick. Then back to the truck or up the beach, and watch for the glint of gold in each scoop. All the crew are looking now.

This is where you need a piece of property that you can say " I have a need for a few loads of that, and it's just around the corner basically-and I was wondering if you....."

Best of luck Bart if your stalking the site again today!

Bart... where are they taking that sand off TO ? ? ?

Might wanna find that info out and see if there is a way to get to it to detect it.

Have you been able to make out any details on cobb #3 ?

 

[Blak bart]

First thing on the list....call trucking company and find out some info. Hopefully its going to a holding area. I was jumping around doing the happydance with a cobb in my hand ..... one of the truck drivers got out and was jumping around with me....he held that coin with a look of disbelief on his face !! Pretty cool...he was as excited as I was just watching me dig it up !!

Yes roger....its got some nice details on it if I clean it....not sure if I'm gonna clean it or not.?

Any date,or partial date ?

 

[Blak bart]

Typical Mexican mint 4 reale cobb.....don't think its dated but I've been surprised before.

Its worth nothing as is.

Well ... err refrase... less... howz bout that for a decision making thought.

 

[Blak bart]

Open the pic all the way and zoom in.....picture quality is great and you can see the individual grains of sand !!

 

[Blak bart]

Good point ARC....im like anti dave....I like them to shine !! And I think they should all be turned into jewelry.....these are treasure cobbs. They weren't found in a corn feild with no back story. Plus with the documented recovery story here on t-net, they should have a little value !!

 

[ARC]

Bart... I will point something out...

The market concerning these is up... and will continue to steadily do so.

Small electrolysis setup... clean... have them bezeled... hold em or fold em.... $$$

 

[ARC]

PS...

There are MANY jewelers who will bezel them for a trade for one.

 

[Blak bart]

Now you guys know why I go for those gold wedding bands.....they met down into beautiful bezels for these coins to be mounted in !!

Great minds think alike brother !! My thoughts exactly.....that last 9.2 gram gold one is a perfect candidate. My jeweler will use one gold band and take another gold band for labor.
