20210216_163001.jpg 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 !! 20210216_194635.jpg20210216_194644.jpg
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 !! 20210216_194732.jpg
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 20210216_132301.jpg

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 !!20210217_080234.jpg20210217_075931.jpg

Really amazing finds!!! How did you clean the cobs to look so good in 20 minutes?

I use the tinfoil and baking soda method. That works well on the silver.....some coins found in the water still need a zap of electrolysis....the coins found up high and out of the water are almost always in pretty good shape !!
 

Dang! that is nice! congrats! leave one out there for me lol... someday

Thanks ballsdeep....seems like there's always another one so you should be able to find one somewhere in florida !!
