My best 2017 finds...8 Reales tops the list
My 6th year of detecting was good...and bad. Despite detecting almost every weekend, my totals for silver coins and coppers were WAY off from previous years. Yet, on the bright side I managed to find two of my greatest coin finds ever...an 1821 Capped Bust Dime (my first Capped Bust coin and oldest US silver) and an 1806 Spanish 8 Reales (only my second Spanish coin and my first "silver dollar" sized coin). Some of my other favorite finds this year included 3 complete colonial shoe/knee buckles, a well worn silver Navy ring, a skeleton key and silver ring spill, and a coin silver pocket watch. Thanks for looking and best of luck and HH to everyone in the New Year!
