For fun - Take a guess Update: Results posted!

Kapi · Mar 14, 2017

These are some of my recent finds. They are currently undergoing electrolysis.

Anyone want to take a guess as to what they are? Two of them may likely be obvious to most of you.

UPDATE!!

The first was a war nickel. They always show up with deep black crud stuck to them here around the salt water.

The second I thought was broken key but turned out to be a good luck charm.

The third was a silver coin. When the silver around here spent most of it's life in the dry sand it stays greenish instead of dark purple as it would in salt water.

One quarter and two Felix's?

I am probably off because the other two looik bigger than pennies. However your salt water crusties sure seem to gain size with the crud on them.

If I had another guess I would say a half and two quarters.

the top ones are gold coins

Ice Scratcher · Mar 14, 2017

1- silver dime
2- aluminum token
3- silver quarter

couple of quarters and a half...

Mud-puppy · Mar 14, 2017

#2 could be half of a very small waffle iron? like for tiny pizzeles? I'd say off of Columbus' main galley?

Junkminer · Mar 14, 2017

Two dog tags and a quarter

Well number 1 is obviously a hand struck cob from around 1650, definitely a new world mint, probably from Peru. Number 2 looks suspiciously like a lolipop doubloon, and I gotta agree with OBN, number three is gold.

"Lollipop Dubloon!" :laughing:

Ya know!...In retrospect, you are most likely correct! Especially where Kap hunts! It cant be a Lillipution/Columbus miniature Waffle Iron pot metal trade component! Everyone knows Gullivers adventures took place in the S Pacific, and most likely Columbus had standard sized pizzel irons on board! So I was once again amiss and shot off my mouth before checking to see if it was loaded...

Even if it was some sort of 'Joe vs. Volcano' era WapaniWoo Islanders trade token, or Lillipution, whats it doing in Florida? Again, everybody knows thats S Pacific! Great ID there Fdutra!

In your honor, I will name the next boat I build "Lollipop Dubloon"....Its got a quizzical magic, and sort of fun right? I was nearly settled on "Si Mon Que" (SeaMonkey)...translated: 'Yes Man! What?' Great find there Kap! A damned old Lollipop Dubloon!

Or maybe its nothing but a damned old electrical box knock out? Or a damned old Golf Course divet replacer kind of tool? Still...It could be off the Space Shuttle right? Gus Grissoms even? Oh the Excitement! :laughing:

Thanks for guessing! This was fun

You had one right!

OBN said:

Wishful thinking! I've never found a gold coin except for that gold coin ring I found and that was a replica coin and tiny. Can't wait til a real old gold coin shows up! The other day at one of my spots another guy was there detecting and he said "You should have been here yesterday, someone found a gold coin." Never know if that was true though. Didn't see the coin myself but they are out there!

You were so close! Thanks for the reply, made me look up lolipop doubloon! :laughing:

We want a ride on that boat someday! Everyone here finds space shuttle parts they just don't know it and toss them back. <maybe>

Good guess if you'd said that for number two that would have been close!

I thought KEY too! In fact I thought most of the guesses would guess key but so very few did.

Gold ring? I wish! You got the quarter right!

Hate to question your authority, but isn't that the HMS "Good Ship Lolipop" featured on the face of that "token" ?
