🥇 BANNER 1778 Spanish 8 reales

[K1DDO1979]

I had a amazing hunt today with some friends at a new cellar hole property. We all did very well and all went home with old coppers and old silvers. My find of the day and i still cant believe i found one is a 1778 mexico city mint 8 reales. I never thought i would get one of these. It was a good signal but i had to work for it under tree roots. I knew what it was though as soon as it. It is in great shape and the pictures don’t do it justice at all. Thanks for looking! [emoji2][emoji106]

Thank you. While my buddy’s were doing the front yard area of the cellar hole i decided to go around the back of it. I seen where a walkway would have went directly into the cellar itself. I walked straight out away from the cellar about 10 feet and got the hit just to my right another 3 feet or so from the path. Hope i made sense explaining that. Im so glad i did decide to slip away from those guys! HaHa
