<p>[QUOTE="steelheadwill, post: 1846343, member: 28116"]Just noticed that the pix I posted were ones I edited to hide the ding I gave it during recovery. I was actually digging another nearby target when this Ducat came to light on top of the saltmud pile,(in my first month of detecting) it was as bright and shiny as in the pix, I first thought plastic token/play money until I picked it up. It was recovered within 5 feet of a currently used boat dock and I'm sure dozens if not hundreds of people have walked over it during its internment. Site was used as a boatyard and anchorage for larger ships who chose not to attempt the treacherous currents between here and the larger port a bit upstream. I dubbed the small inlet 'Cob Cove' and it has given me hundreds of coins and artifacts 1600-present. I am always very grateful to have been the first to discover this historic site, I've been active with the local historic society and they display some of my finds.
