Hi All,

I was hunting a plowed corn field near my home when I got a nice signal on my XLT. I looked down and saw the edge of a silver coin and picked up the first of 8 coins I would find in this small area in the middle of the field. It took me about 5 hunts(about 8 hours) to get them all. They were in the area of about 200 x 50 feet dating from 1708 to 1762. There were 4 2-reales and 4 one-reales. That without a doubt was the best few hunts of my life. I found these coins about 3 years ago and the same fields are still giving up good coins!!!

Thanks for looking,

Brian

Hi Brian,

I live in Colchester on the East Haddam town line. Where abouts have you hunted in Colchester - so I know not to bother. Beautiful coins you found...I couldn't get anything older than 1950 today!
