1753 PILLAR One Reale (NEW PICS)

umrgolf · Apr 3, 2010

Yes!! the J-team(Sentinel and myself) scored our second 1753 pillar one reale in two weeks

(Josh's was in comparable shape, but holed) This was found at a NEW site which is nothing more than a big vacant lot in the middle of town... I dug somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 pieces of trash, but knew it would pay off since it was both a union and confederate camp.. I was more than shocked to see spanish silver come out of the ground today. It gave a copper penny reading at 4 inches and when I popped the plug the signal disappeared. I looked down and removed a small piece of iron and BAM the signal was back.. Expecting to reach down and pick up my 1970 penny, I couldn't believe the silver disc I was looking at.. Also today, I dug my first Enfield bullet along with 4 .69 caliber bullets and a few other odds and ends..

NEW PICS-Mine on LEFT, Josh's on RIGHT (notice we have different mintmarks.. mine is mexico city and Josh's has an I w/ a dot over it next to an M ) Thank you MackayDon The mintmark on Josh's is Lima, Peru

WooooHOOOOOO, you dug what we all seek every weekend! The J-Team is top-notch and will compete with KKC. We hunt the same kind of sites, so it will be fun to see who finds what. You guys have always been my friends on here and I hope you all have a great year. It looks to be a dandy already!

Keep the passion high!

Kirk

Thanks Kirk, you know it! We've been friends since the beginning of TNet and will be for a long time to come......

A little friendly competition is good for both KKC and J-Team

It's funny that we went out to a site last

week and I dug the SAME EXACT type of reale with the same date! Here it is:

You can clearly see this is a different Reale as its holed....Jeff's isn't

Go figure...its pretty nuts

Me and Jeff have definitely been on a steak the past 3 weeks.....you know how it goes....you're either on fire or your

in the slump......but its always great to start the season off with a bang :wink:

WTG Jeff!!! You definitely have a HOT HAND lately. I figured Josh would recognize the toe tap. Does your Enfield have a base mark in the cavity? Congrats, Quindy.

I did tell him....I knew EXACTLY what it was

Good finds for you. Sounds like your persistence is paying off big time. I am learning I need more to start making the good finds as well. Watching guys like you just keeps my fire burning and my patience high.

You're a Spanish silver machine! Some days you have to work harder than others but all that matters in the end is the post showing who the boss is. The PA Bros will probably be calling me Mr. Trump very soon.

Actually,,,,his last silver was a Seated Half Dime..

not too shabby....I would've preferred that almost more than

the KG Ferdin One Reale that I dug the same day

Thank you, I appreciate this reply.. It's always nice to hear from someone that I'm an inspiration :thumbsup:

Keep at it, it's all about persistance and not expecting anything.. Everytime I expect a site to be amazing, it's a dead end and the ones I just come across by luck turn out to have nice things..

Thanks Pete, we've been very fortunate as of late.. Anytime you can come up with some quality finds without having to do any research feels good.

Good to hear from you
