Got out finally to do some hunting a couple miles from home and decided to go back to a place out in the country that I hit many times before.as I started to swing I thought to myself I haven't found any old silver in a long time. this place I went to has very little trash so any decent hits should be good.i found the small reale first at about 8 inches down that came in at a nice 81 on my Tenectic t2. 1775 in decent shape.talk about a natural high! I continued to walk another 50 yards or so and got a nice hit at 82.this one was deep at about 10 inches. when the large reale came out I about s%%t myself.looks to be about the size of a half dollar and the kicker is it looks to be a 1775 also! the drought is over!!!

Nice couple of coppers. Assuming the smaller one is a one real, that's a 2. I've yet to find a 2-reale. Congrats!
