Visited a relative in CT recently who lives on an old farm with lots of land. The property dates back late 1700's and my relatives have lived there a very long time...I'm confident it has never been detected. Got a great signal in a field near the house and my heart nearly stopped when I saw a holed 1806 Eight Real in the hole. Only my second Spanish ever. Mexico City mint. I'm still numb.

Never get tired of seeing those! Must have sounded like a garbage can lid. My coil is allergic to Spanish so I will live vicariously through you today.

Okay, I know I'm not supposed to covet what's not mine, so is it okay if I just stalk you with the hopes that you drop it? The condition of that coin is amazing! Excellent find!

WOW! That's one sweet old Spanish silver coin for sure. It's already holed so you can slap it on a nice chain and wear it with PRIDE! WOO HOO!!!:occasion18::hello2::headbang:
