Silver Spanish Cob 4 Reale

                                   

I have been lucky in my life to have found coins on the beach from New Jersey to Florida.  My uncle found a cache of Gold English sovereigns in Northern Greece in the 80's. left from the rebels during the Nazi occupation of Greece during the war.  The English would airdrop supplies such as guns, ammo and gold coins and the rebels would hide them. Some never made it back while others are still somewhere waiting to be found lost in time!  Greece has a real rich history going back before the war.  Imagine finding a Spartan helmet or shield or a Queens Crown! I know during the Greek economic collapse a lot of people starting metal detecting in Greece looking for gold and antiques. I plan to tell my uncles story in more depth in another post.  He never told anyone exactly how many he found but he still has some of the coins in the picture below to this day because every time I visit him in Greece he always gives me a few!
