CELLAR HOLE HUNT REDEMPTION*1721 TWO REALE PISTAREEN

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Fellow Nor'Easter detecting member Allison (also known in her blogs as the detecting diva) wanted to go on a cellar hole hunt with Todd & myself.1st 2 sites were hit and pretty well.i nabbed a few buttons & 2 nice colonial strap hinges.the 3 rd site is where I redeemed myself from last weeks heavymetalputz incident with the white faced hornets & cracking my knee.My knees still a little sore but after walking awhile it seemed to loosen up so,maybe i did something good by getting out of the house and walking on it.
got a nice signal at 3 inches,in the hole I see a large thin silver

now ya don't see these much up north,I see quite a few dug in Virginia and had always wanted one.
a 1721 two reale silver pistareen.

.my 1st pistareen! I have many south american reales but this is a 1st minted in spain reale
never seen this backmark on the earlier 2 piece button? M.Sandhand? and the brass thing with half holes? some sort of bird shot lead mold is all i can think of

the injuries I got after being stung by white faced hornets,and tripping while running and knee coming down on a rock 2 saturdays ago.bone chip came off my knee cap and it swelled.the walking did it some good this past saturday and so glad I decided to go for a hunt!

Oh my gosh Dave, where do I start!
Your finds never cease to amaze me bud, loved the video's, the pic of your knees made me feel your pain my friend!

I torn the meniscus in my left knee in January working a trade show in Vegas and strained the ligaments in my right knee in July because I kept on working & detecting.
I now have arthroscopic surgery scheduled for September 3... all I want is to be better in time for the fall hunt!

Hope your knee is feeling better, sounds like you might have to have it operated on as well.
