I drove to NOLA and the parks were filled with people nobody’s worring about the virus apparently, so I drive along the bayou and came across a grassy field that I’ve driven pass a thousand times but it was just cut so I stopped. I was surprised to see a lot of iron square nails, white shells and brick in the clay. It was hard digging but what the hell. My first find was a brass thing I thought interesting then 1897 V nickel very interesting I was freaking out. Then I found a 1926 buffalo. So I came across more iron square nails which were falsing in the low 20’s. Then I hit a spot where it was falsing all over the place but this one had some 30’s mixed in there. Thank God I dig everything. After pulling out about eight square nails I saw what looked like a Mardi Gras doubloon and then i picked it up and looked and fell on my back laughing like a school girl. Here it is in all it’s glory a 1809 8 reales in flawless condition. Unbelievable day to break my 3 month curse. Thank you for sharing in my glory.

I bet that was the last thing you expected to find when you left the house. Good thing you checked that field out.
Congrats on a beautiful coin :thumbsup:

Wow Truth you keep slowly adding up the stellar finds, you are an icon in persistence we all should strive to emulate! That reale is in super shape, huge congratulations.

I had a mental video playing in my head of you laying on your back in a field kicking your legs and giggling like a school girl while gazing upward into your outstretched hand at that beauty, meanwhile cars are passing by on the nearby highway the occupants looking over wondering wth.[emoji23]

SWEET!! The king of the Reale series...congratulations Truth that high we get must have kept a smile on your face until... well it’s probably still there lol... My second silver dollar (first Morgan) I dug last year was mixed in with a TON of iron, but it had that little high chirp mixed in and I was more than glad I went after it, pulling old iron nails, pins etc. before homing in on silver...GREAT save! Ddf.
