Today went back to the pond were I found the 8 reale a few months ago.
It was really hot, and things were slow. So I decided to go into the woods a little to get out of the sun.
I am so glad I did.. 5 minutes in there I get real nice high tone on the CTX 1345/1246. New it was going to be silver or a LC, it said 6inches, so I take my time and cut a nice plug flip it over a right there was a handsome guy with a big nose looking right at me..LOL the 2reale!!! This is my first 2reale, found half ones 1reales, cut 4reale, and my big 8reale..
You know I was happy..
Especially since I whatched CJON, pull a 1728 Pistareen out right in front of me at this site with my machine!!!! Lol.
So now I am really excited and I am going to slow down and really pound this area.. About 20min later I get almost the same signal, and my heart is pounding, it tells me this one is 8inch down, i cut the plug and its even deeper. I found it and take it out I look at it a i think its a one reale..
I wipe a little dirt of and see seated liberty, and say oh a quarter cool.
Put it in my bag and keep detecting.
Not much after that.
So I go to my truck and text Bill D a pic of the 2reale. Then he calls me and were talking. I tell him i also found a seated quarter and i grap it out of my pouch and say hey it seems smalller???? Thats weird..
I turn it on to the back a can just make out 20 ce..
I say get the hell out of here, its a 20 center... I always wanted to find one since i started detecting. After I found my first 2center, i found out they made different monies..lol
2 cents, 3cents, half cents, half dimes and the elusive 20centers!!!!
Now my weird cents are COMPLETE. .LOL.
Thanks for looking and enjoy the pics.

I'm not saying this because you're my buddy. Actually I dislike you very much right at this moment. But Georgie, that's a banner coin. Not the real, but the 20c.

Banner vote goes in from me and I'm happy for you bud. You aren't completely lucky, just very lucky. I know how hard you work to do what you do.

Cheers

Steve

Thanks Steve.
Its all about location right????
Thats why we work on good permission. Takes time, but so worth it, sometimes. Lol

Very nice Vino :thumbsup:. Id love to find either one of those coins, but couldn't even imagine what it must feel like to find both in the same day.
Nice details on the Reale, and even nicer on the 20 center. Love that eagle design.
Don't know what you did to be so fortunate, but it must have worked.
Id go back tomorrow and pitch a tent at that site. Call in sick, and cash all those honey-do favors in.....
:occasion14:
Banner for sure....

Thanks BP.
And can you believe, I was over this place a bunch of times with the RACER before????

Yep, I've found 2 3centers, and both were the silver ones.. The nickle one are rare to find..

I've dug a couple of those 3 cent nickles over the last 3-4 years, but both are common dates. But I've never come close to sniffing one of those crazy rare 20 cent pieces. Another jaw-dropping find George!!
