Like the Hibernia! (still waiting for one)


...but you should take a closer look at the "1727" Does the bust face left or right? If it's the real crusty one then it's corrosion that's making it look like 27.

That is one crusty looking coin!

Great finds! Is the weight heavy enough to be a decoy weight?

Nice finds for a beach old to, how can you even see the date on that 1727? was it a salt water beach or a fresh water lake beach ?

Salt water yup coins here where iam are lucky to last 20 years let alone 300 + (hunt that beach really good) those ole Nor-Easters on the New England coast tore up a lot of old ships back in the 1700.s
