First 1700's coin

I got to go on a two hour hunt this morning, the first thing I found when I walked into the Field was a colonial pipe stem not 3 feet later I found a nice flat button. I started to hunt with high hopes of getting a coin. It started to rain and that's when the finds started coming in the next find was a 1847 large cent and I found three more flat buttons near the large cent, then I found two marble shaped buttons and then two more of the round buttons not sure what kind they are. I walked closer to the woods and found a nice caped button and a musket ball and one more flat button then I heard a faint signal I dug down 8" and the signal got stronger so I dug down a couple more inches and found a coin at first I thought it was a half dime but I Saw George the third on the front and the date 1776 so I guess its a reale. I jumped for joy and started scanning the area and came up with a small buckle. My baby sitter called so I had to call it a day but it was a great morning! HH!

That is awesome. I'm on the shore every weekend, but looks like I need to do more treasure hunting and less duck hunting. Great find!

Great find! Grew up in Silver spring MD, never detected till I got to Colorado. Hate myself.
