Had to have some beach therapy yesterday. So even though the wind was howling and the temps were in the 40's I thought maybe the detecting Gods would have mercy on me and allow me to find something Good.
Tide was incoming and the water is still a bit cool. But i was finding some targets in the wash zone and was working as fast as possible to get them before the water got too deep.
Had a odd shaped piece come out of the sand and I rubbed some of the accumulation of crud off it and could see what i thought was Spanish Markings. Heart rate was elevated. So in the pouch it went as i finished my detecting with high hopes.
After I got home i did some cleaning and could see what i thought was a Spanish Cob. Dated 1731. Did some communication with my Brother In Law and his twin brother and we all came to the conclusion that I in fact had found a Spanish Coin. Elated would be putting it mildly.
Decided yesterday evening to finish cleaning the coin and my heart sank when out from under the crud the word "Copy" emerged. My wife thought something was wrong when i Yelled NOOOOOOOOO.
I am not certain but that might be enough to make a preacher Curse.
