Incredible find! That's the stuff that metal detecting dreams are made of! By the way, approximately what size are the coins? Ouarter, half, dollar?

If they are 2 Reales or Pistareens then they would be the size of a quarter.

Awesome find my only advice would be research about shipwrecks in area, but I wouldn't advertise your find as someone may have salvage rights on the wrecks and could sue you claiming that the coins are part of their salvage, maybe I am being paranoid but I trust few.

All wrecks here are public knowledge - known wrecks that is. No wrecks anywhere near this site - so could be an undiscovered one nearby??

Sweet! Best find I have seen in a long time!

 

[Back-of-the-boat]

This is such an awesome find I am so glad for you hopefully its just the beginning of many more such finds.

 

[Nutriasub]

The big ones could be 8 reales...hopefully!!

A well deserved Banner find if I ever saw one.
Johnsas, the most important thing that you have here is the knowledge of where you found these at. I would be suprised if the Fisher Group doesn't contact you about an offer for some sort of partnership. Do not jump at the first offer my freind. If you wish to advance your search into the deeper water then post your intentions on the TN Shipwreck forum and sift through the offers you get. I would be interested in discussing this with you as well but there are several other well equiped companies on that forum that you may perfer to go with and I am totaly OK with that, what ever works best with you.
Remember this though, the real trouble with treasure begins when you find it (these words from Mel Fisher), so you may want to consider just selling of the info on the location and be happy with the profit.
Again Congrats on the Banner find, it is truly amazing I truly hope you find more and can keep it a secret site until you are ready to tell the world.
All the best,
ZDD

You have hit way more than the jackpot..... Memories and emotion are the true value of any find and yours will live long in the memory of everyone on this site.. Again .... Awesome find

A Pistareen is bigger than a quarter.

Let me tell you Johnsas that, that little find of yours would put a big smile on the most seasoned of treasure hunters. Congrats my friend.

Incredible find but I agree, op needs to be very careful. Doesn't the Spanish government like to steal treasure hunters finds?

 

[favored papa]

what a government steal from people, no way,
