Hey everyone so today my friend and I got out for half a day and didn't find too much at first just musket balls. Then I stumbled over a small area maybe a 5' X 5' area. That's where I was able to pull out these five beauties. They are a (1805 1 Reale) (1853 Seated Dime) (1830 Half) (1851 Half) and my (1856 Half) What a day! The 1856 S. Half is the first one i pulled out and my first half dollar ever and I'm happy with the amount of detail left! My pics can't fully capture that. My bud just found musketballs and other normal odds and ends. Thanks for looking and hope ya all had a good day!

This hoard must have been lost in 1856 or very shortly after! That 1856 half is nearly mint!
Pre-Civil war treasure, amazing! :notworthy:

That is one heck of a coin spill right there! It also shows how long the Spanish silver circulated along with US coins.

Beautiful! Shame that 1830 was holed--it's in great condition. Your half is in really great condition. What kind of site was it? Sounds more like an amazing pocket spill as opposed to a cache. :thumbsup:

I thought the same thing.

Still a banner day!
