Got out to a cellar i found exactly a year ago around this time was the first time i hunted this virgin site :icon_thumleft:

This is a true Colonial site probably abandoned around 1840 or so..Most recent coin on this site was a 1829 Large cent :)

Started off slow grabbed a couple of regular buttons and a monster musket ball :icon_thumright:

Then i grabbed the key which was probaly the front door key :icon_sunny:
I love these relics ;D

Then on the way back i got a 87 signal or so and had a hard time diggin in the roots :-\

Out pops a 1774 Spanish 2 Reale :headbang:

Unfortunately i hit it with the shovel it was pristine condition :'(

I never hit the coins when it is a toasted copper :dontknow: :icon_scratch:

Right next to it i got another copper..I think it is a state copper :dontknow:

Have fun out there :thumbsup:

Here is the entire site finds

I'd like to introduce a new term for what you did to that Reale: Tina Fey. A beautful woman with a scar on the side of her face. Tasteless, I know; let's see if it catches on. Nice find, in any case.

That's a nice one J.B. I don't see how those tiny cellar holes keep turning out those nice coins. Did they fall trough the floor planks? HH, Quindy.

Hey Quindy all that labor intensive farming and wrestling with those animals will do it :-\

If you think about it they were probably really bummed about losing these coins it would feed them for a week..

Another part of this great hobby pondering on the story behind our finds ::)

Nice finds. That scratch is why I like to dig deeper than the indication.

do you use a pin pointer? I was really amazed at the success at not scratching any coins after my first day out with mine. (see past posts in 'Todays finds')----
