Cut colonial Spanish and Silver wings

had to bribe my huntin buddy to go with me to a group hunt at an old boy scout camp. He said he needed to mow his farm and was behind. I said "we'll get it it next week." He said "you mean YOU will get it next week." I said ok let's go hunt. We got to the camp and of course it had already been pounded pretty hard, but in the first 40 minutes by the sidewalk I got a good silver signal, and 3 inches down I got some silver wings.
Stayed for 3 or 4 hours and all I got was 1948 Rosie and couple wheat pennies. We agreed to go hunt arrowheads at an old spot where an old house site was. I detected while he looked for arrowheads. 15 mi into It I was swinging and had my head turned heard a beep and looked down and on top of the field was a piece of eight. Couldn't believe it. It was my first authentic one. When I was ready to meet back up with him I said to my self, "I feel bad that he had not found any silver that day, I gonna get him a good solid silver signal to him and let him dig it." He did and it was a pretty decent 1899 barber quarter.. it was all good at the end of the day! Thanks.

great digs!!! the cob is nice, especially w/ the date

Not a cob, those are the crude hammered silver coins, the one the OP found is milled. Still a terrific find, I don't think I will ever dig one in my life :)
