CUT 4 REALE, HIBERNIA, KG 111, AND MORE

[Vino]

So spring looks as though it sprung
Was able to get out yesterday, with Scrappy, from Tnet..
We had a not so bad day, for a really worked site, so much iron, signals are all scratchy, I dug alot more iron then good signals, but at this site you have to do that. If you wait for a dig me signal, will be waiting all day and not find anything. .
My first find was the Eagle I button, then some flat buttons, then came this really cool lead seal, never seen a back like it though, if any has please chime in. Then came this broken 4reale, thought it was a cut, but never seen one like it, that would of been my first, never found a cut before. I really searched in and around the hole for the other piece but no luck..
Anyway all in all it was a beautiful day out and its really good to be swing again. .
Happy hunting, and thats for looking. George

Oh yeah, I hit my sites over and over, year after year and usually get more. We're digging test pits and probing for trash pits right now. Looking forward to trying the CTX just to see if it can find anything more.

Damn hard work thats for sure. We hit the foundation in the field today. The 300 year old handmade bricks are awesome and HUGE. Will be getting a few of these for the display.

Awesome George!! I can't tell you how difficult it is to dig a 4 reale here in the US, or even part of one. I can only remember 2 being dug in the 15-20 years I've been following the forums. That's definitely a prize - great find!!

Vino we were just that good yesterday. Lol

You nailed it when you said we will each get one more copper. You were on fire yesterday - you got the cut silver over an area I searched AND then a copper. It was tricky tricky hunting to say the least, and a good lesson in hunting pounded ground with deep artifacts. I learned a lot and thank you Vino.

I'm with Bill, 4 reales unheard of!
Good to see you guys out

I knew i haven't seen any posted before, wish it was the whole one.
But i was pretty happy about it..
I toke me a minute to realize what it was, its about are 50cent piece size..
Thanks Bill. .
Look forward to digging the trash and privy pits there if i can find them..George

Reasonable chance it's counterfeit to break like that, similar to how a tombac button could.

Did they make copys out of silver?

 

[Mackaydon]

The 4R might also have gotten in the way of a lawn mower; bummer.
Don......

Hey, I recognize that brick wall. Same place I found that 1816 Shilling. Nice finds.

Yep!!! The 4reale came out of the same hole!!! Always recheck ur holes. ..lol.
Just kidding, but it did come right near it..

 

[Iron Patch]

They certainly did. Either they'd cheat the weight, or more likely cheat the metal a little mixing it with something else.

whoever cut that reale must of been drunk as a skunk
