Cjon got me all buttoned up and helped me find a possible 1/2 Reale

[Nepa-Will]

Met up with Cjon just before dawn this morning. He was kind enough to take me to one of his spots to help me find my first LC. Unfortunately I didn't find one, but had a heck of a day with some other great firsts. Found my First ever Flat Button followed up by two others. The Best button looks like it has an Eagle with a shield on its back mark. Hope someone could help date it. Also found a beat silver dime sized coin. We couldn't tell what it was on site, and Chris thought it could be a Spanish Reale. After getting home and trying to make something out of it. I was able to get a few identifying marks. I am thinking its a 1/2 Reale. If so. That makes another first. The first photo shows " T IND R"



The second photo show a "C" possibly for Carolus.

Here is a pic of the Best Quality with the eagle and shield back mark.

1R, a half R would be size of the small button. try wet baking soda & soft toothbrush on the buttons for better details. nice end of season:-)

Great Digs. So let me get this straight. Chris played the part of Vino(inviting you to hunt) and you played the part of Cjon(swooped in and made great finds) Hmm I love this story. Congratulations Will and to Chris Merry Christmas

The coin looks to be holed at one time ...looks like Spanish to me too.

Lol, thanks buddy, I don't mind him kicking my butt at this site, I've only ever taken 1 other person there (olddude) and he too got a cool 1st there, a broken shoe buckle.

 

[Old Dude]

Not just a broken shoe buckle, but a broken shoe buckle encased in a frozen dirt clod. I still remember your words when I broke it out of the dirt ~ " Now you're just showing off " lol.

Great finds Will. I found my first flat button on a hunt with Chris too, but he found my first Spanish

I don't know what your insinuating, are you saying I use foul language lol!!, how bout that will, I hammer a site for 3 yrs and he comes along In 2 hrs and gets the ONLY silver ever from there, lol

Nah just kidding, couldn't be happier for the guy

 

[PaDirtDigger]

Nice firsts to end the year Will!!!

 

[Old Dude]

Hey, I believe I could show off again with the F75, hint* hint*

Yeah, I am glad he got that too. I was really hoping for his first LC...he could have left the silver for you or me

Thanks Chris! I would have been happy with just a flat button. Coming out with 3 buttons and a Reale was just awesome. To bad we couldn't tell it was a Reale on the spot. You might of caught me rolling in the mud. I really appreciate the hunt. Thanks again

Thanks OD! The signal was so faint but clean. Definitely knew it was silver when it popped out. Just wasn't sure if was a pendant or coin. It was cool to dig the first silver there.

Nice firsts to end the year Will!!!

Thanks!

I know what you mean!, when I found my 2 spanish coins I was able to tell right away what they were, the half reale I was with dave and just was speechless, I thought it was a trime too, then the 1 reale pistareen I was with George and just yelled SPANISH!!!!!!

glad I was able to get ya to that site finally, even happier you nailed down some killer 1sts!
