I've been putting in some long hours at work so I haven't been hunting as much as I would like. Working a swing shift today so I had 6 hours between shifts so I brought my detector with me and went hunting on one of my old stomping grounds. This is the same site that I recently found the silver spoon and silver ring. It's also a site that I would have considered hunted out because it is very close to where I used to live and I hunted it a lot! Since I've moved I haven't hunted it in the past couple years so the plough has done it's job a few times since my last hunts. First couple finds were the flatware...the spoon is engraved as was the silver spoon I found on my last trip out. In fact, years ago I found another silver spoon with the same engraved initials. The majority of the targets on this site are mid to late 1800s but I have found a couple decent KGII coppers here and a nice complete shoe buckle so I know that there is an older site under the newer stuff. Confirmed that today with the 1738 1 reale! I knew it was something better than a Victorian dime when I pulled it out because of the size. I stayed cool and did not wipe the dirt off (even though I was dying to know what it was) until I got back to work. Pretty happy with this...it's the first Spanish I've found in this style (without the monarch) that isn't a cob. Thanks for looking!
