1753 Pillar 1R, 1845 Seated HD, Hibernia, Britannia..etc, VIDEO ADDED

{Sentinel} · Mar 25, 2010

UMRGolf2000 and I have been on a down streak the past couple of weeks and went out of the field yesterday

dejected and with our heads down......NO COINS >:(

in almost a month HOWEVER,,,,,WE RESOLVED, that

we WERE going to find a hot spot today and decided to hit a field that we had never hit before but have perm-

ission. We had some inside knowledge that there might have been a colonial housesite on it.

Well....our

source came through in a BIG WAY!!

First TWO holes dug by Jeff and I and we BOTH got a copper coin:

You can see my hole in the foreground and Jeff next to his holding his large cent in back.

Over the next hour and a half we pulled up a few more coins and buttons all over.

I dug this nice:

1753 Pillar 1Reale

Than I pulled this:

King George II Hibernia

By the end of the day we had dug multiple coppers and I had dug a Reale and Jeff was scanning like a maniac

trying to find that last minute silver coin that had alluded him all day and DANG if he didn't find it. IT was dark,

when he pulled out a 1845 Seated Half Dime :headbang:

Here's a pic of both of our Silvers BEFORE cleaning:

And the rest of the finds BEFORE cleaning.....Fresh from the field

And the final product.....Everything after cleaning:
MY Finds--
-KGII Hibernia
-KGII Britannia
-KGII Britannia
-1827 Large Cent
-1753 Pillar One Reale

Jeffs Buttons

Jeffs coins and odd stamped coin?

One of each of our coins and buttons

VIDEO TO COME TOMORROW!!! UPDATED: VIDEO ADDED

NOTE: I'm note pulling a fast one in this video, I've already pulled the Reale out of the hole to show Jeff and it
is still in my hand when I start to film the hole that I dug it out of and I place it on a clump of dirt next to the hole
so that I can show it to y'all. :wink:

P.S.--KKC, Jeff gives you guys a little Nod :wink:

I just knew it ..you guys were 2 quiet around here, great looking KG's and silver .. were there any other telltale signs of homestead where you are standing any bricks 59 dime : still silver

very little.. A few stray pottery shards, few small brick pieces and a bit of iron, but no excess of any of the three

HCF/E? countermarked silver blank coin, just need to work out what it was

I'm itching for my cold streak to be over as well, but have a few months yet

The spanish silver is excellent find

Thanks Cru. Yes, I like the Pillar Reales too and they aren't as easy to find as say the Carolus varieties are around

here so it was definitely a welcomed site! :wink:

I'd have to say you 2 were correct in your assumption of colonial homestead. Spanish silver is always a welcome addition to anyones collection. I especially like the Milled Pillar variety.
Chris

Thanks too Chris. Like I said to Cru above, I was definitely happy when I saw it was a Pillar Reale for sure! Looks

like you guys in PA and us guys down here in Virginia have hit two nice 'honey' holes

Josh, that's the way to come out of a coin slump. Great old coins. You had Hibernias and, with the cold rain and wind in Tennessee yesterday , we almost had hypothermia. HH, Quindy.

LOL, Yeah I know, that's one of the few problems that I actually love to have....those moments don't come up too
often

Now that's my kind of hunt and field, too. Love those flat fields like that. Outstanding finds and I would hit that place hard. :notworthy:

Kirk PA · Mar 26, 2010

I hope you guys can pull more out of the field.

Keep the passion high!

Wow! WTG!

Kyle PA · Mar 26, 2010

Josh and Jeff, you guys killed it on the frontier yesterday!!! That Milled Pillar is sweeeet and the coppers are niiiiiiice!!!! I think you guys are swinging over ground where, 225+ years ago, there were drunkards walking out of the front door. :laughing9:

I love the vids! I hope you guys continue to film out in the field!

That Colonial casino is going to produce 20+ coins! I don't think our latest site was a casino, but you never know when grog and ale are involved. :laughing9:
