8 Reales Dug Today... Oh Boy!

[Hill Billy]

Well lets just say it's been a long wait to hunt this site. I received permission to hunt this place about 2 months ago. Well work and timing and soybeans were always getting in the way. Well last week the property owner called to tell me the soybeans had been cut. i said i'll be there as soon as I can. Well a couple more days of rain and work later, I finally made it today with Buckleboy. Well it started off slow and we couldn't find the sweet spot. Well it wasn't to much longer when I found a flat button. Well a little while later BBoy hit a IH penny. Well soon there after so did I, a beautiful 1892. Well a little while later I had to call old BBoy over to show him a sweet find. Out pops this baby.
8 Reales

I'll let BBoy finish the rest of the day cause it was all his. I'm just happy to find the 8.

Happy Hunting

Nice find man.

I just dug the same coin about 10 days ago. Mine was a 1826 with a hole in it. Man are they large and heavy. I have been waiting for a spanish silver for a long time. And it happened to be a 8 reale. It was worth the wait. I've dug tons of large cents over the yrs. But no spanish silver until about 10 days ago.

[BuckleBoy]

You know HB, I bet if you soaked that coin in water for a few minutes you could take a toothpick and get the remaining dirt off of it.




Killer find, my friend. And great photos too!

SWEET dig friend. The coolest part is that clod of mud where you can see the coin was laying in. That is a great pic.

Congratulations Bill Hilly! Sorry I got your post and BB's post mixed up. You da man! I totally understand the rarity factor for the area you guys hunt. Just like someone said...It is a rare find to begin with, never mind Kentucky. I'm sure this one is going right in the middle of your display case!
Nice finds!
Dave.
