Cobs are my favorite!! Such a great history behind them. Imagine the hands these types of coins passed through

Any idea of the age?

From a time long ago, off the east coast of Florida. Still remember fondly the day finding this one, and then followed with a cold beer at Earl’s Hideaway with Mel! Still wear it to this day.

Thats Awesome Peaceful Pirate I met Pat Clyne at a dive show He had one of the gold chains which he allowed me to wear what awesome feeling to me that was equivalent of holding babe ruth's bat. You very lucky to have been with one of the best treasure hunters in our lifetime
