Hey all

Yes I am still around, I have not had much time to be on Tnet or to get out detecting. I have been out 4 times in the past 3 months ( yes its sad I know) Today being one of the 4 hunts. I went out to a site with Kenpa for a few hours, we were getting some relics, buttons and a few wheat's when my one and only solid coin signal turned out to be a huge surprise 1781 2 Real, yea baby old silver....on my way home home I was driving past one of our old sites that has been pounded and decided I just wasn't done swinging just yet..so off into the woods I went. after about 20 min. I pulled an 1861 Fatty Indian and now I could go home.. Below are some finds from all 4 hunts, Soon the weeds will die off and we will have better access to most of our wooded sites so I hope to get out more and spend more time on Tnet...I see lots of new faces on the site so welcome to all of you and I look forward to seeing all your great posts, I see some awesome stuff being pulled..

Thanks for looking TnT

Wow! Fantastic Find! If I'm not mistaken, that was worth about 25 cents, a lot of money at the time. Not too many people had those in their pockets. I've found two 1 Reales and four 1/2 Reales, but haven't found a 2 Reale yet. WTG!
