Big 1700's silver 8 reale an 5 franc in the woods!!!

Hey everyone!!
Today I had a pretty eventful time in the woods to say the least. It was simply one of those days of MDing that can never be forgotten. So, I decided to hit a cellar that I've detected many times before. As I was on the old road going up to the hole, for some reason or another, I decided to stop at a foundation that I thought for sure I cleaned out. Well needless to say, I hadn't!!! 5 minutes after turning on my T2 I got a screaming 95 vdi next to a rotten stump. I flipped over my SHALLOW plug and out popped this beautiful holed 1799 8 Reale :headbang: After performing a happy dance, I scanned the hole to hear another very high tone.(this is when I started filming with my phone) After digging a little more, Bam!, an 1811 5 Francs coin. Needless to say I didn't even go to my cellar hole but instead I gridded the area where I found the 2 silvers. This is actually the same foundation where I found a Morgan dollar and 2 Barber halves a few years ago.

After the hunt I sat down by the stream, lightly cleaned my discoveries and had a moment of thanks :notworthy:
(Sorry for the poor quality and filming technique of the video but I'm just lucky I was still speaking English after that discovery!)
Happy Hunting!

I've always wanted to walk into an Old West Saloon and say "Whiskey" to the bartender and throw one of those coins on the bar. :occasion14::laughing7: Sweet finds CC.

Wow fantastic silver. You know that monster probably would have screamed "CAN" to many and may have been passed over.

also curious about your cleaning method. They both cleaned up beautifully.

Congrats

Yea I often don't dig signals like that myself! Im glad I decided to dig this one though. Just a little bit of water and a rag did the trick on these...I think they were in pretty nice shape when they were lost/buried.
Thanks!
