One of my best colonial hunts ever including a cob spill!

[toasted]

Got back to where I found my 2 reales cob about three weeks ago. Wasnt finding much in that immediate area other than the early lead/pewter button. So I spread out and wasnt finding much but scrap lead/pewter pieces until I got a beautiful signal that turned out to be a nearly perfectly preserved complete circa 1690-1720 lead/pewter buckle Happy with that, I headed back to the area where the cob came from in preparation to go home. I got a very faint high tone practically right on top of where the previous cob came from. Out popped a thick 4.5 gram cut cob from Mexico. Rescanned the hole and got an even sweeter tone. A 9.5 gram 1656? Potosi 4 Reales cob The 4 appears to have been counterstamped too so any info on that appreciated too.

Its laying on top of buckle in first photo. Its a domed cast lead/pewter? composition much like the buckle I think.

I think you should change your username to "Cobman". Well done. Can't believe you got a cob spill!

I knew you were gonna have a stellar year....and there you go. Congrats on such good sites you have and the finds to boot.

Congrats. You definitely have the touch and are one with your machine.

Congratulations on the wonderful day of detecting. Any one of your 4 finds (button, buckel or cobs) would make a great day for me here in the western end of the state. Your counterstamped cob is a very unusual find and you are really killing it with the cobs. I have 2 in my almost 18 years of detecting and you found 2 in one day! Way to go and keep swingin.
