BOOYEAH!!! A Spanish Cob from the Frozen Earth! New High Res. Pics!

[romeo-1]

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!

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

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?
