Good evening Tnet..All weekend, my partner and I worked the same site that gave up the 1788 reales. So far this is the 7th spanish silver and 6th LC to come off the site.... Anyway back to today, I got the wheatie around 10AM and from then until around 1PM I only had 2 flat buttons to show for myself. Then, out of nowhere, I get a clad quarter reading 2 inches down and pull up the 1820 LC which makes four on the year now. Not 12 ft in front of that I get a 63-64 signal (a tad above a zinc penny) and pull out this beauty!! 1/2 of a 2 reale pistareen! :headbang: From the J, below the roman numeral II, we were able to date it from 1716-1726..

I was just thinking how funny it would be if I actually made myself look that way and posted some pics of us out detecting. Man people would feel bad thinking they were cracking jokes all along, but it was really me! :laughing9:

I'm a bit older than you.... so our conehead mask was probably no longer in style. ;D I can't remember what the other one was, but there was two. Anyway, all the boys would be completely stoned and the two with the masks would talk Chinese. It made no sense but damn it was funny! Kids... Don't try that at home! (better in a city far from your parents) :laughing7:
