We all have heard about stories of great treasures and silver lost at sea due to shipwrecks.
From many collapsed ships, silver has been recovered.
The stories behind shipwrecks are interesting and the history surrounding the silver is fascinating.
One such ship is the Spanish ship El Cazador that was lost at sea in 1784.
It was discovered on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico in 1993 by a group of fishermen.
Presenting...

Oh yes! I like it! I would probably bust it out of the slab so I can feel it 😁 What does milled coinage 1973 mean? Great post sweetie! See you next time, my SSFL👊💗

I love it when you are thorough, and thanks for catching that. It is a typo, and I just changed it to the correct date of 1873. Milled coinage is made using a large screw press worked by rotating a weighted lever that pressed an upper and lower die together with a blank planchet between them. In 1732, they stopped hammering the dies onto the planchet.

It is amazing that a silver coin that stayed on the bottom of the sea for more than 200 years is not mostly corroded. What a work of reconstruction!

Yeah... the sea water makes silver turn really black, unlike gold which remains and maintains its luster even for hundreds of years in seawater.
