Half Reale, Copper and Indian Cent - last 2 hunts stuff

[vpone]

Hello All,

VP here, got out today and hit a farm field that has recently been cleared. I was just searching along looking for any good signs and bam, got a 07 26 on the SE - pulled out a half reale from about 6 inches

it was weird there was no pottery, no iron signals, no buttons ... nothing around - guess it was just a random drop

last week we hit a spot that had sooooo much potential but ended up being a bit of a dud - i did manage to find one copper, a dateless large cent - oh well it was a fun day though, the rest of the stuff was from that day as well

thanks for looking and take care !

hey chris,

thanks man, i am super excited about the reale - when i found it i yelled to paco who was quite a bit away, i started running to him and dropped the thing !! took me almost 30 seconds to find it again, by the time i got to paco i was beat

tell ya though, it was a totally lucky find, it was out in the middle of nowhere - i was actually heading back to the van to grab a drink and just walked over the right spot - talk about a needle in a haystack ...

the reale date is 1777 (i'll try and get a front pic here soon, didn't realize i had the back showing !) - can't get a date off the indian or copper -

take care

VP,
Congrats on the Spanish silver...it does not matter how you find it as loong as you do.

Last year I just arrived at a field and started hunting when the wife called and need me home. Not too happy I start walking back to the truck and bam a gold pocket watch. Probably would have never found it if the wife did not call. Things happen for a reason...so did you ever get that drink?

AWESOME! Congrats on a bunch of nice digs. My first Spanish silver was "on the way back to the truck" too. And all by its lonesome.
