| Atocha Gold Bar In April 29 Sedwick Coins Treasure Auction. Photo Source: See Sedwick Coins link. |
Complete gold "finger" bar #1526, 699 grams, marked with fineness XXIII: (23.5K) and serial number 152-1, from the Atocha (1622). 5-1/4" x 7/8" x 1/2". From a series of mysteriously high grade bars without foundry/assayer markings and tax stamps (also no assayer's "bite"), hence purported to be either the property of the Church or representative of the "king's fifth" (tax), this example with very bold fineness but light serial number (both hand-engraved), two dimples on top where the metal settled during cooling. From the Atocha (1622), with Fisher photo-certificate #A84-1526.

Have you seen the Gold Rush Nugget Bucket? Pretty neat. I'd like to live close to the gold fields.

Here is a very short video clip made near low tide on Thursday. There were a few rain showers up and down the beach.
Thursday on the Treasure Coast we'll have one more day of smooth surf and some good negative tides. Friday the surf will increase a little. According to the predictions we'll have a few days of rainy weather.
Happy hunting,
