<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 3131677, member: 92655"]This is a question custom made for [USER=85208]@BlackBeard_Thatch[/USER] .... He is a walking history lesson on these pieces. I found the cobb in my avatar in a secluded bay on the southern Carolina coast in 1989. I had always rather hoped it was a piece used by an early colonist. [USER=85208]@BlackBeard_Thatch[/USER] educated me that we had established Spanish colonies on our coast and there are confirmed Spanish shipwrecks there. I would venture to say that the bulk of what was minted did sail directly to Spain yet some were diverted to their coastal settlements on the US coast as they certainly needed them for commerce here as well. That's just an off the cuff guess on my part though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
