For the people who wonder what a treasure diver makes, this is my share of the booty from 2014. The gold coin was a bonus because it was my first gold coin find. It is a 1 escudo. The rest are as follows-

14 silver reales (8's,4's,2's and 1's.

1 copper Maravedi coin (so they say)

pewter serving platter (15" diameter)

sword handle encrusted in rock

misc. musketballs, 1 grape shot and 1 small cannonball from a signal cannon

a lead threaded screw-on lid for a bottle

broken piece of a pewter fork or spoon

lots of pottery pieces

an iron spike, a large pin, and a piece of broken bronze spike

Is this pirate treasure? I've been trying to identify this silver coin for over a year now. It looks like some kinda hammered coin. I found it on one of my local beaches in the wet sand after a storm.

This division is for 2014, not last year when all the gold coins were found. I make no cash. I only get paid in treasure.
