It is incredible these little coins could survive so long in salt water. Nice find.

Some nice old silver treasure! I hunt the bay several miles north of you, all the silver I dig is crusty.. cookie coins.

Try taking a pic of your trime on a black background. Preferably one that is not shiny. The white background is fooling your camera and stopping down the exposure.
