1747 SWEET SPANISH SILVER + Navy Cuff B

[Rick (Nova Scotia)]

An awesome day in every way, sunny with a stiff cooling breeze.
There was almost zero junk targets, and one of those was a clad quarter.
Only about 15 minutes in I get an "87" on the Omega, and out comes big spanish Silver, 1747 being my second oldest silver ever, and it is in very nice condition....awesome.
I got it on live video, which is slightly awesome, and will probably add the video shortly.
Went on to find 6 more coppers, one of is a first, an 1812 wellington.
Topped off the "Sunday" with a Navy cuff (officers maybe ?) button.
The bigger copper plate thing I have no idea.

The funny thing is I think these are all random drops. Possibly an old road way, don't know, but I walked over good ground today.

2013 copper count 80+

Don't often see that type of Spanish found in our parts... none of mine.

Looks like the Navy button will clean up. Appears to be traces of gilt but hard to say how much will be there.

Nice Pillar style 2 Reales Rick. You continue to tear it up through the summer when most of us are shut down.

Awesome rick! You give me hope my first Spanish silver is laying around here in Saint John.

WTG, Rick! Fantastic finds. A HUGE congrats on the Spanish silver.

Can I get a close up of that Rodrigo copper? Ciudad Rodrigo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Awesome finds!

You're still kicking them out Rick!


Really nice 2 reales! Those coppers aren't nothing to sneeze at either and everything else is gravy

I like the navy button, that design is one I haven't found yet

I'm thinking the copper plate my have been a reflector on a candleholder or an oil lamp, just a guess
