<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hutchdaddy, post: 396472, member: 15177&quot;]As far as being gold, I had a metal detector and swiped it across the coin and as far as I can tell, It registered as gold or a gold/? mix. I&#039;m no expert but this is really something that I wish I could have authenticated. I mean I havent found a single person who had any idea what this was. It could be bronze but i&#039;m not going to &quot;cut&quot; the coin to see what It looks like underneath the tarnish. The scanner really didnt do the color any justice. The color is a yellowish/bronzish/blackish color. It really doesnt have the dark blackish color in person. The site that I found this coin is about 75 yards from the river on a penisula so there wasnt ever any kind or settlement around the site for anyone to have &quot;dropped&quot; the coin. I belive that the coin was indeed a trade item from either the spanish or the french...possibly the portugese traded the coin for food or pelts or what have you. This is really an artifact and not just some item I got from a unreliable source. Thanks for all the info an please feel free to add more information about this coin. I&#039;m very interested in this coin. It is byfar the coolest artifact in my collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
