Last thing I expected in the woods was another cobb, and this one came out with such great details (compared to the first one.) OK, I get a little excited in the vid...the first cobb was worn down to a nub, didn't really know what it was till home researching it, not much to shout about when I first dug it. However, the 1749 2 Reale came out of the ground with a bold design present...very exciting to see that Spanish cross emerge from the dirt.
And FINALLY, after so many large buttons hoping it was a copper, it actually turned out to be one. The George II half penny isn't as toasted as I feared the coppers would be, just truly worn down. I THINK the date is 1756, but that side of the coin worn nearly flat...it's at least before 1760 and that's amazing
Best day so far out there struggling through the jungle!
