It's been a while since I dug TWO Spanish Silvers in one day

[Steve in PA]

I had a great weekend at one of my hard hunted sites. Since I started hunting this place in 2012, it had never had a deep plowing. The last time I was there when it was in corn stubble, I only found one little cufflink. Well, apparently he plowed deep this time, because it was almost as good as the first time went in there. I knew there was still some deep stuff hiding in there, but I was amazed how much the plow brought up. Saturday I dug 26 buttons, two large coppers (Draped Bust and an unidentified one) and TWO half reals — 1777 and 1783. The last time I dug two Spanish silvers in one day was April 2014. I went back on Sunday and was able to recover 7 more buttons, a plain cufflink, 2 large coppers (unidentified as of yet), and a piece of a counterfeit 2 reale. In addition to all that, I also got 15 dropped and fired musket balls.

Here are my finds from Saturday. It's been quite a while since I had a day like this.

I had a feeling one of these might rear it's ugly head, BUT NOT TWO!!

Here are my finds from Sunday. The quantity was not on the level with Saturday, but still a good day.

Here is everything cleaned up

My man....that’s a great day! I’ve found 2 Spanish on 2 different occasions and was one happy boy. Great finds as usual but this post is even a great one for a fella with your skills.

Thanks Abe, I was really happy to see this site come back to life, if only for one day. But I know the ground settles there will be some more to be found.
