BOOYEAH!!! A Spanish Cob from the Frozen Earth! New High Res. Pics!
I was able to get out for an hour this afternoon to try my field one last time before the frost really set in. The ground was frozen to about 5 inches but it was manageable. First signal was a little choppy but was good enough to dig. This is something I've been hoping to find for 7 years. It's a Spanish cob!! I think it's a 1 reale from 1674...which would make it my new oldest silver! Condition is amazing but unfortunately my camera is still not downloading to my laptop so I had to use my BlackBerry. I'm absolutely gob smacked with this find!
I was finally able to download the pics from my camera. Thanks.

Good one to cross off the list! And I knew it was only a matter of time, because if they are here, there's lots of them there!

TOO BUSY TO DETECT, YOU'RE TOO BUSY!!!

How do you find Gold coins? Reply: 'By finding lots of Silver ones..'

Super Congrats on finding the Pillars and Waves Cob!!!!! They to me are one pretty coin, still awaiting my first cob.

"The mantra has always been don't clean a (copper) coin or it will lose value.
For undug coins this is true. For dug coins this is untrue.
The value will increase with judicious cleaning."

Every year I've been detecting I've found Spanish silver...except last year...this makes up for that!

Congrats on the 1674 Cob romeo-1! 
Where there's one there's probably more! 
Good for you to brave the frost and the cold!

I love hunting old relic sites . . . as I feel
the imprint of past lives often linger there.
I view relic sites as windows to the past, sacred places
in a way, yet at the same time attesting to the reality
that the past is still very much a part of our today!

Re: BOOYEAH!!! A Spanish Cob from the Frozen Earth! 338 Year Old Silver!
Beautiful Cob! 8)
Is it a one real or a two reales?
Might one venture to query if that is a corn field find? CornCob field?
