Connecticut Copper and Spanish Silver

[deershed]

The boy and I hit our ole Colonial property for a little bit this evening and found some good ones.
Things were slow with out too many hits, mainly iron. We were digging the iffy hits hoping there was another hot spot on this property.
I was the first to find digging a solid 80 on the AT Pro at 6". I flipped the plug and saw a greenish coin laying in the hole. At first I thought I had another KG from the thickness of the coin. Picked it out and couldn't believe the detail on this coin, 1788 Connecticut Copper. My best big copper and my second oldest coin, Wow!!

It didn't take the boy long, probably 5 mins. later and 20yds. away. I see him flip a plug and his cigarette drops from his mouth. He looks up at me hardly able to speak and says "Spanish Silver". I walk over to him and he says, anywhere but here and I wouldn't have dug this hit. He got a 76 on the AT Pro and not deep. When he flipped the plug the Reale went flying. Lol
His first Reale and our second from this property, not a bad hunt...

Tom, I think I got more excited when the boy found the Reale as I was with my copper. And I was flying pretty high when I saw the condition of my copper.
I know he was hoping for a Reale of his own after I found my first one last year.
