Back in the 80"s my uncle lived in key west Florida and had a bar he got to know Mel Fisher and his son and was able to acquire some coins from them then passed them to me can you imagine holding a coin from 1622? Thanks for checking it out

I have a crucifix that I bought way back from silver found on the Atocha. The back side is marked Atocha 1622

That is awesome! You’re a better man than me with money. I get a couple hundred extra dollars and it burns a hole in my pocket before I can spend it wisely.

Oh well. At least I have another 1k rounds of 9mm and a 3rd copy of a g3c I didn’t need now I guess! Lmao

Cool. There was an old Spanish fort in an area that I’ve hunted with metal detectors several times over the years. I’ve collected quite a few pieces of old Spanish reale. They’re great. Kinda crude, all different, but sterling silver!
Again, cool find!

I was big in to metal detecting too I found a lot of stuff from the civil war in baton rouge and surrounding areas it was fun

Yall may have to loan them some out to keep the show going?

There was a small Spanish "fort" on the bank of the Natalbany River in Springfield

I've been to Zachary couple battle fields and old plantations there found plenty of civil war bullets,coat button's, spurs off of boot's ECT.
