The "Big 8" Club. Want to join?

In my detecting club we have what is called the Big 8 Club. You are an instant member when you find an 8 Reale. I found mine real early in my metal detecting career, within 5 months of starting and the 1st day of using my Minelab Exp. SE. It is a 1798 Mexico mint in near mint condition. It was found at a house which has been occupied since the early 1700s. When I found it I knew it was a good find but I didn't realize how rare it was to find one in this condition.

I would like to propose a TreasureNet Big 8 Club. If you have found one please post a pic and a brief description of the find. Have fun!
