Both of those finds are banners in my opinion. Do you have any more pics of the slave tag?

Excellent story, amazing coin, no brainer banner, but can you explain the sort of land 'site' that a Spanish Gold Coin can pop up from? (early settlement, Inn, Market???)

With the exception of digging a coin that is historically significant, extremely rare and very valuable, I personally don't see digging a coin getting any better. For looks alone it does get no better! Definitely one of the best coins ever posted.

Well said. For me, I could quit digging with that coin - it couldn't get any better!

This type of find is almost unheard of, simply amazing. I also appreciate the humble and eloquent words you chose in describing your discovery.

I know what you mean, but in detecting there IS ALWAYS better.
