It's been sooo long since I last posted but I got out Sunday with DKinPA to some foundations in the woods I've been dying to hit. These foundations are loaded with big iron so trying to get a clear signal is a treat. After 20 minutes I made the first find which turned out to be a matron head large cent. DKinPA made the second find and a first for him. A large cent 
For the next hour or so just some bits and pieces but I started walking toward DKinPa and just about reached him when I got a high penny reading on the MXT at the base of a tree. I asked DK to check it with his E-Trac and he agreed it was a good signal and he said silver. I assumed it was a hunter lost coin. So as I dug the coin.. i saw a silver rim and the coin was on edge. He said it's probably a seated dime..I got the coin out and cleaned the front and saw a face I didn't recognize.. Then it hit me...a 1 reale...My first.. after acting like an idiot for a minute DK said to recheck the area..so I did.. and a foot away the same exact reading.. I thought no way.. After 8 inches I saw another silver rim also on edge. I did manage to take a picture in the hole and then removed the coin...Another 1 reale....a colonial pocket spill..another first for me. First one is wore pretty bad but it's dated 1754 and second one is 1780. One thing I noticed on the 1754 is the bottom of the coin is so much lighter then the rest like another had laid against it..I have and eight reale which I laid on it and it matches perfectly. Could somebody have found another coin and not rechecked the hole?......we'll never know...Thanks for looking!
