I found this large copper today in a field . I initially thought 10 Reis but can’t find a match . 10 Centemos ? Nope . Looks like a shield and perhaps a crown on the reverse .

This large cob was in a change purse passed on from a deceased relative. There were a few Peace dollars a couple Morgan’s various half’s and small silver . I was just surprised to find this old cob in with the other more modern coins . Any info appreciated!

Today I Did my 50 min one way paddle out to my new site for my second hunt there . I did not wander as much as I did on my last hunt . I tried to concentrate on finding targets instead of more area . Though I did find another foundation there today !:hello2: I had a spectaular day if I must say...

Sometimes you just feel like hunting for old . A lot of my hunting lately has been late 19th early 20th Cen. . By design and by what is available for me to hunt . I have been really wanting to find a gold coin lately. :goldcoin: . The odds say this time period gives me the best chance at one...

After work I hit a local trolley park here in town today . Probably the most hunted site in town . Sometimes the cleanup will help you hear a deepy . The only coin signal I got in two and a half hours happened in the first half hour . 7 inches down giving a mixed signal with a nail in the same...
