Finally, me and my son got out today to an old field that we've hit before pretty much looking for civil war stuff. Day started off good with 4 early flat buttons and a few odds and ends, but it was like digging in concrete. After a while I decided we should check another part of the field we've never checked before and I got a fired musket ball and a fired 3 ringer. Well then I must of gotten into the farmers target practice area and gave up on that field. But while I was walking out I got a big 91 on the deus, after finally breaking through the hard ground I pop the plug and all I see is big shiny silver. My first 1700s coin and it's a big 1799 2 reale 20191012_105249.jpg 20191012_105256.jpg 20191012_121617.jpg 20191012_121641.jpg

This place has been good last time we went I found a war of 1812 button and my son found a S.C. button,it's just so much land to cover, but it's one of those permissions that we dont want to ask to often and wear out our welcome
