Bahamian coin fragment found on the last day of my trip....at the last minute!! No one with me really thought it was actually a coin, but I could see the waves ,and a partial M on the edge. I could not quite figure out where I had seen it before until I looked at my own coin I ware every day....text book perfect match !!

We didn't even notice until a little cleaning, and a comparison to my necklace later that night before dinner. I was dancing around @BayStreetBoyz house clutching this chip of a coin in a victory dance !! So cool 😎 to actually get on the ground with a huge schedule, and still come away with a piece of genuine Spanish treasure with only 3 days on the ground!! I had some pressure to produce and was able to succeed on the beach and in the bush with some fantastic finds !! Keep an eye out...there could be a media project following my treasure hunts in the islands

This is just some of the beach finds....both beachcombing, and detecting !! The coolest 😎 find for me was the space-x debris and all the stuff I learned about it. I even met a space-x treasurehunter....he was on a 12 day beachcombing mission to collect as .much starship 34 debris he could...I was lucky, and was able to find a complete starship heat tile....a rare treasure according to space-x Ron the treasure hunter !! There was sea glass, ships spikes, and really, actually a whole shipwreck from the 1880s-1915....I think ?? Coyote Peterson from "Brave Wilderness" was there with me and @SADS 669 and they both managed to find the space-x debris also !!what a great trip !! Check out the youtu.be video to see the coin match up perfect...it shows better on video!!

Making the match really made the trip....not much value to the piece monetarily, but icing on an epic trip, and the ability to say.....Yeah !! We did it, and got real treasure!! If only a fragment !!
 

I have a 1 reale that was in a fire
everyone thought it was junk - i thought it was at least some sort of silver
I went thru other coins id found it it was same size as a reale
eventually rolling it around on a good one I saw a line that lined up with one of the pillars

Keep it up !

Yup...same scenario with this coin....held it up to my necklace and boom 💥 heading back in a week to try and find a good one !!
 

Great match with the fragmented coin! Congratulations! Looks like you had a great time, too!
