Broke into the 1600's today. Spanish Silver 1684 (UPDATE) My buddies pics added

Hit the fields today with my buddies George and Sam. It started out kinda quiet. A button here and there. Then George found a copper (5 total for him I believe). Good sign. We finally found the two hotspots and the finds just kept coming. After a bunch of buttons I got a nice clean signal and pulled the 1722 George copper. Finally one that was'nt so beat up compared to last weeks. We're going along and George comes walking over. I knew it would be good. Shows me a beautiful 1746 2 reale in nice shape. Less then 10 minutes later I find the chunk of silver with the digits 684. No more silver after that but the coppers and buttons just kept coming. One of George's friends shows up with his cibola and wound up finding three coppers of his own. My other copper is unfortunately trashed. Nothing recognizable. I wound up with 16 buttons total. I will post George's finds once he emails me the pics. I know one of his was a large cent and a George half penny I think, but his best find was the 1746 Spanish silver. Had a blast there today. Total hunting time around 5 hours. Sam left early and I don't know what he found. Hopefully something good. Till next time.

This sounds like a tavern site.

Dunno what was there 300 years ago but if the farmer comes out to chat I'll ask him if he knows any history about his land. Most of the time they don't even come out. George is the only guy that see's them and that's when he's securing permission. He usually gets us permission 9 out of 10 times trying. Key member of our team.

I sent a second email requesting the pictures of the other guy's finds but he has'nt responded. If he does I'll add em to the post. I want to see them as well. I know he had three coppers before George and I left.

So far we've found one really hotspot pretty close to the road. The semi hotspot is also close to the road. The coppers are being found all over the first field which is quite large. The two spanish silver pieces were found in the hot spot approx 120-140 feet away from each other. Oyster shells and brick in the hot area. Most of the buttons I found on Sunday were all in the hotspot. Now I have no idea where the other guy found the 1/2 reale.

You guys probably hit an unwritten tavern site.

That is quite possible. Like I said higher up in the post I'd like to chat with the landowner to see If he can shed any light on it. We're probably gonna have four of us out there Sunday. Three X5's and an X2, Hopefully we can get more of the same. What is pretty cool is that there's another huge field we have'nt even touched yet
on the other side of the entrance road to the farm. This place along with a few other fields close by that we already have permission for is gonna keep us busy for awhile.

Those are some awesome finds. Is one of those buttons a hollow dimple button? I love the buttons congrats on a great hunt!
